Secondary lipid storage in lysosomal storage diseases. The individual classes of lipids are indicated in the lines with a gray background.

Secondary Storage Lipid Disease Compartment Cellular Disturbance Reference
Phospholipids
Sphingomyelin Sphingolipidoses: Niemann–Pick type C Lysosomes Altered membrane lipids trafficking [170,171]
Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) Sphingolipidoses: Niemann–Pick type C, Fabry disease, Gaucher disease, GM1 gangliosidosis, GM2 gangliosidosis
Mucopolysaccharidoses: Hurler syndrome, Hunter syndrome
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses: NCL 10
Endosomes, lysosomes Altered membrane lipids trafficking, lamellar bodies formation [171,172]
Glycosphingolipids
Gangliosides—GM1, GM2, GM3, GD1a, GD2, GD3 Sphingolipidoses: Niemann–Pick type A, B and C, Gaucher disease, prosaposin deficiency
Mucopolysaccharidoses: Hurler syndrome, Hunter syndrome, Sanfilippo syndrome, Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome, Sly syndrome
Glycoproteinoses: Galactosialidosis, α-mannosidosis, sialidosis
Mucolipidoses: mucolipidosis II/III, mucolipidosis IV
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses: NCL 3, NCL 6, NCL 10
Late endosomes, lysosomes, cytoplasmic vesicles Alteration of lysosomal pH, autophagy dysregulation, rupture of H+/Ca2+ homeostasis, altered vesicle trafficking, dysregulation of signaling pathways, accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins, reduced capacity of immune cells to produce cytokines and antibodies, neurodegeneration (gliosis, demyelination of white matter, astrocyte and microglial activation) [173,174,175,176,177,178,179,180,181]
Cholesterol
Cholesterol Sphingolipidoses: Niemann–Pick type A and B
Mucopolysaccharidoses: Hurler syndrome, Hunter syndrome, Sanfilippo syndrome, Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome
Glycoproteinoses: α-mannosidosis
Late endosomes, lysosomes, cytoplasmic vesicles Impaired vesicle trafficking, abnormal sequestration of materials, foam cells in cerebral blood vessels and liver [171,174,176,177,178]

Subgroups (regular font) or classes (italic font) of disorders related to abnormal lipid storage or lipid metabolism are indicated in the lines with a gray background.
