Tay Sachs Disease caused by the absence of enzyme Hex-A which results in the abnormal accumulation of a lipid called GM2 ganglioside in the nerve cells

Maple Syrup Urine Disease The person cannot break down the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. buildup of these chemicals happen in the blood urine smells like maple syrup
Gaucher's disease deficiency of glucocerebrosidase ( a sphingolipid) and causes glucocerebroside to accumulate mostly in white blood cells or macrophages enlargement of liver and spleen
Diseases mainly on carbohydrates Diabetes, Galactosemia
Diseases mainly on lipids Atherosclerosis, Tay Sachs Disease, Gaucher's Disease
Diseases mainly on protein Phenylketonuria, Maple Syrup Urine Disease
