Information about related lysosomal storage diseases

Here is a comprehensive list of lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), categorized by the type of enzyme deficiency or storage material involved.

LSD's

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS)

LSDs caused by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs):

Sphingolipidoses

Disorders caused by the accumulation of sphingolipids:

Glycogen Storage Disorders (Lysosomal Subtypes)

Disorders caused by the accumulation of glycogen:

Lipidoses

Disorders caused by lipid accumulation:

Oligosaccharidoses

Disorders caused by the accumulation of oligosaccharides:

Glycoproteinoses

Disorders caused by the accumulation of glycoproteins:

Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (Batten Disease)

Disorders caused by the accumulation of ceroid lipofuscin:

Cholesterol Storage Disorders

Disorders involving cholesterol metabolism:

Peroxisomal Disorders (Sometimes Classified Under LSDs)

Though technically not LSDs, some overlap in presentation:

Other Lysosomal Storage Disorders

Notes:

These disorders vary widely in severity, symptoms, and the age of onset, but they all result from defects in lysosomal enzymes, transporters, or associated proteins.
