This disclosure relates to treatment of lysosomal storage disorders, such as Fabry disease or Gaucher disease, with a combination treatment containing (i) an mRNA encoding a lysosomal enzyme deficient in the lysosomal storage disorder, and (ii) a compound that is a glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor or a pharmacological chaperone of the lysosomal enzyme. mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode the enzyme that is deficient in the lysosomal storage disorder, functional fragments thereof (e.g., those comprising the catalytic domain), or fusion proteins containing the enzyme that is deficient in the lysosomal storage disorder. mRNA therapies can be used to increase and/or restore deficient levels of a lysosomal enzyme's expression and/or activity in subjects.
