Table 1.

HSP proteins involved in the endolysosomal system and autophagy. The cellular consequences mentioned here are only in the context of this review, and therefore only include the function of the protein in the endolysosomal and autophagic pathways. All the references to the SPG numbers and their clinical involvement can be found in Hedera et al. or Boutry et al. [11,12].
