Report of Independent Accountants

To the Retirement Savings Plan Committee of the
Genzyme Retirement Savings Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
plan benefits of the Genzyme Retirement Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits, with fund
information for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. We previously audited and reported on the
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits, with fund
information for the year ended December 31, 1997, which condensed statement is
presented for comparative purposes. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the
index on page 1 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The fund information in the statement of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than
to present the changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.
The supplemental schedules and fund information are the responsibility of the
Plan's Management. These supplemental schedules and fund information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The Plan has not presented the schedule of single reportable transactions.
Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor's Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income and Security Act of 1974.

                         GENZYME RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.   PLAN DESCRIPTION:
     -----------------

     The following description of the Genzyme Retirement Savings Plan (the
     "Plan"), formerly the Genzyme Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, provides
     only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan
     Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

       GENERAL
       The Plan, a defined contribution plan pursuant to the authorization of
       the Genzyme Corporation Board of Directors (the "Genzyme Board"), was
       established effective January 1, 1988 to provide a long-range program of
       systematic savings for eligible employees ("Participants"). Employees of
       all Genzyme Corporation's ("Genzyme" or the "Company") wholly-owned
       United States subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan, with
       the exception of employees of the former Deknatel Snowden Pencer, Inc.
       ("DSP"), an entity acquired by Genzyme during 1996, which has its own
       retirement savings plan that is still active. Pursuant to Plan
       amendments with effective dates of April 1, 1997 and July 1, 1997, the
       Plan merged with the Genetrix, Inc. Salary Savings Plan and the
       PharmaGenics, Inc. 401(k) Plan, respectively. As of December 31, 1998,
       all consolidated subsidiaries of Genzyme were 100% owned by the
       Company therefore making the Plan a plan for a controlled group of
       corporations. Employees who are 21 years of age or older become eligible
       to participate on their first day of employment. The Plan is subject to
       the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
       ("ERISA of 1974"). The Plan Administrator is the Retirement Savings Plan
       Committee of the Genzyme Board (the "Committee").

       INVESTMENT OPTIONS
       CIGNA, the Plan trustee, has made the following investment options
       available to Participants: the Genzyme General Division Stock Fund, the
       Genzyme Tissue Repair Division Stock Fund, the Fidelity Puritan Fund,
       the CIGNA Guaranteed Income Fund, the CIGNA Guaranteed Securities
       Separate Account, the CIGNA Stock Market Index Fund, the Putnam Voyager
       Fund, the PBHG Growth Fund and the Templeton Foreign Fund. The Fidelity
       Puritan Fund changed from a mutual fund to a pooled separate account as a
       result of the change in the Plan trustee in 1997. The following
       investment options were made available during 1998:

       The Fidelity Puritan Fund's investment objective emphasizes income and
       stability through investing in both stocks and bonds.

       The CIGNA Stock Market Index Fund invests primarily in large blue chip
       companies comprising the Standard & Poor's 500 index. The CIGNA Stock
       Market Index Fund's investment principle is to provide long-term growth
       of capital and income. The CIGNA Stock Market Index Fund was made
       available to Participants as an investment option upon transfer of the
       assets from the Fidelity Magellan Fund.

       The Putnam Voyager Fund's investment objective is to provide capital
       appreciation through investing in stocks of companies with growth
       potential.

       The PBHG Growth Fund's investment objective is to provide capital
       appreciation through investing in small capitalization companies.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.   PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED):
     -----------------------------

       The Templeton Foreign Fund offers Participants an investment instrument
       with the objective of providing long-term capital growth through a
       combination of investing in stocks and debt obligations of companies and
       governments outside the United States.

       The Genzyme General Division Stock Fund (the "Genzyme General Stock
       Fund") is currently invested solely in shares of Genzyme General Division
       Common Stock ("GGD Stock"). Amounts contributed to the Genzyme General
       Stock Fund may be invested in other short-term investments pending the
       purchase of GGD Stock.

       The Genzyme Tissue Repair Division Stock Fund (the "GTR Stock Fund") is
       currently invested solely in shares of Genzyme Tissue Repair Division
       Common Stock ("GTR Stock"). This fund is available as an investment
       option of the company match only. Amounts contributed to the GTR Stock
       Fund may be invested in other short-term investments pending the purchase
       of GTR Stock.

       The CIGNA Guaranteed Income Fund offers Participant's a fixed income fund
       to provide yield returns relative to comparable guaranteed fixed income
       investment funds. CIGNA maintains the contributions in a pooled account.
       The contract is included in the financial statements at contract value,
       which represents contributions made under the contract, plus credited
       interest, less withdrawals and administrative expenses because it is
       fully benefit responsive. The average yield and crediting interest rate
       is based on an agreed-upon formula with the issuer but cannot be less
       than zero. The average yield and crediting interest rates were
       approximately 6.25% during 1998.

       The CIGNA Guaranteed Securities Separate Account offers participants a
       fixed income fund composed primarily of publicly traded investment-grade,
       intermediate-term securities. Principal and interest are guaranteed by
       CIGNA's Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. CIGNA maintains the
       contributions in a pooled account. The contract is included in the
       financial statements at contract value, which represents contributions
       made under the contract, plus credited interest, less withdrawals and
       administrative expenses because it is fully benefit responsive. The
       average yield and crediting interest rates were approximately 5.05%
       during 1998. The crediting interest rate is based on an agreed-upon
       formula with the issuer but cannot be less than zero.

       The Plan is invested in The New England Guaranteed Investment Contract
       which provides Participants with a guaranteed return on their assets. As
       of December 31, 1998, The New England Guaranteed Investment Contract was
       included in the CIGNA Guaranteed Securities Separate Account and had a
       contract value of $174,374. The average yield and crediting interest
       rates were approximately 5.55% during 1998.

       The CIGNA Guaranteed Securities Separate Account, Fidelity Puritan Fund,
       CIGNA Stock Market Index Fund, PBHG Growth Fund, and Genzyme General
       Division Stock Fund are each greater than 5% of the Plan's net assets.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.   PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED):
     -----------------------------

       EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS
       The Plan is a defined contribution plan. Eligible employees may elect,
       through salary reduction agreements, to have up to 18% or a maximum or
       $10,000 of their compensation contributed on a pre-tax basis to the Plan
       each year on their behalf. A Participant's salary reduction contribution
       for a plan year may be further limited by the administration rules of the
       Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") if the Participant
       is considered to be a highly-compensated employee within the meaning of
       the Code.

       EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
       Genzyme makes contributions to the Plan on behalf of a Participant
       bi-weekly in an amount equal to at least 25% of the Participant's
       contribution through salary reductions; however, employer matching
       contributions will not be made for contributions that exceed, in the
       aggregate, 5% of the Participant's annual compensation. Genzyme's
       contributions amounted to $1,347,058 and $1,087,311 for the years ended
       December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

       Pursuant to a Plan amendment, effective January 1, 1997, Genzyme makes
       contributions to the Plan under a profit sharing program and a stock
       ownership program. For the profit sharing plan, Genzyme will contribute
       up to 0.75% of all employees' eligible compensation in either cash or
       stock. For contributions made into the stock ownership plan, Genzyme will
       contribute Genzyme General Division Common Stock equivalent to 1% of all
       employees' eligible compensation into the plan. During 1998, Genzyme
       contributed $1,642,778 to the Plan under the profit sharing and stock
       ownership programs. No contributions were made to the Plan under these
       programs during 1997.

       Participants may invest their contributions in any fund or funds in
       increments determined at their own discretion. Employer contributions are
       invested as directed by the Participants. If a Participant does not
       provide direction with respect to the investment of the Participant's
       contribution, all contributions will automatically be invested in the
       CIGNA Guaranteed Income Fund.

       VESTING
       Participants have a 100% non-forfeitable interest in both employee and
       employer contributions at all times. Upon termination of employment or
       total and permanent disability, a Participant, or a Participant's
       beneficiary in the case of a Participant's death, is entitled to receive
       the full amount in the Participant's account.

       BENEFITS
       Distributions upon retirement at age 59 1/2 or later, death, or
       termination are made in a lump-sum payment.

       Changes in withholding percentages are permitted as of the last day of
       each quarter of the Plan year. Reallocation of account balances among
       investment funds can be requested and processed on a daily basis.
       Contributions may be withdrawn from the Plan only upon a demonstration of
       hardship, as defined, unless the Participant requesting such withdrawal
       has attained the age of 59 1/2. New employees with funds held under a
       previous employer's qualified plan are permitted to invest such funds
       into the Plan. These investments are classified as "rollovers".

       LOANS
       Participants may obtain a loan from the Plan collateralized by the
       Participant's vested interest in the Plan. No loan may exceed the lesser
       of one half of the vested interest of a Participant, or $50,000; and must
       be at least $1,000. A Participant may not obtain a loan unless the Plan
       Administrator approves the transaction. All loans bear interest
       determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of the loan. At December
       31, 1998, all loans bear interest rates between 6% and 9% and mature
       through May 2017. A written repayment schedule specifies the date and
       payment amount necessary to amortize the loan.

B.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     -------------------------------------------

       BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
       The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
       method of accounting.

       CASH EQUIVALENTS
       The Plan considers cash equivalents to be short-term, highly liquid
       investments, with initial maturities of less than three months.

       INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION
       Investments in the PBHG Growth Fund, CIGNA Stock Market Index Fund,
       Fidelity Puritan Fund, Putnam Voyager Fund, Templeton Foreign Fund,
       Genzyme General Division Stock Fund and Genzyme Tissue Repair Stock Fund
       are stated at fair value, based upon quoted market prices in an active
       market on the last business day of the Plan year. The CIGNA Guaranteed
       Securities Separate Account and the CIGNA Guaranteed Income Fund are
       valued at contract value which approximates fair value. Participant loans
       are valued at cost plus accrued interest which approximates market value.

       The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for
       Plan Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of
       its investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the
       unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Security
       transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gain or loss on sales
       of investments is based on average cost.

       INVESTMENT INCOME
       Dividend and interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.

       CONTRIBUTIONS AND BENEFIT PAYMENTS
       Employee contributions and matching employer contributions are recorded
       in the period the payroll deductions are made. Benefits are recorded when
       paid.

       USE OF ESTIMATES
       The preparation of the Plan's financial statements in conformity with
       generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator
       to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
       amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial
       statements and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits
       during the reporting period and, when applicable, disclosures of
       contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
       statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
       The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
       stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other
       investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
       risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level
       of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least
       reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities
       will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
       Participant's account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements
       of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.


C.   QUALIFICATION UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE:
     ----------------------------------------------

       The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
       letter dated May 25, 1995, that the Plan and related trust are designed
       in accordance with applicable sections of the Code. The Plan has been
       amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan
       Administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is
       designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
       applicable requirements of the Code.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


D.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION:
     -------------------------

       Genzyme intends to continue the Plan indefinitely but reserves the right
       to terminate it at any time or amend it in any manner advisable. No
       amendment may adversely affect the nonforfeitable interests of
       Participants in their accounts or permit the use or diversion of any part
       of the Plan other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or
       their beneficiaries (subject to Plan provisions permitting payment of
       fees and expenses). No merger, consolidation, or transfers of assets or
       liabilities of the Plan may reduce the Participant's interest accrued to
       the date of the merger, consolidation, or transfer. If Genzyme
       discontinues its contributions or if the Plan is fully or partially
       terminated, the affected Participant's rights to benefits will remain
       fully vested.

E.   RELATED PARTY:
     --------------

       Certain plan investments are shares of funds managed by CIGNA. CIGNA is
       the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions
       qualify as party-in-interest. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment
       management services amounted to approximately $8,000 for the year ended
       December 31, 1998. The Plan also paid fees to CIGNA of approximately
       $11,000 for administrative services.
