Lysosomal lipid storage disorder
MONDO:0019245An inherited metabolic disorder in which harmful amounts of lipids accumulate in cells and tissues. Because of a functionally impaired hydrolase or auxiliary protein, their lipid substrates cannot be degraded, accumulate in the lysosome, and slowly spread to other intracellular membranes.
Also known as: inborn error of lipid storage, lipid storage disease, lipoid storage disease, lipoid storage disorder, rare inborn error of lipid storage, lipidoses, lipidosis, lipoidoses
