Glycoproteinosis
Glycoproteinosis are lysosomal storage diseases[1] affecting glycoproteins, resulting from defects in lysosomal function. The term is sometimes reserved for conditions involving degradation of glycoproteins.[2]

Types
- (E77.0) Defects in post-translational modification of lysosomal enzymes
- Mucolipidosis II (I-cell disease)
- Mucolipidosis III (pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy)
- (E77.1) Defects in glycoprotein degradation
Another type, recently characterized, is galactosialidosis.[3]
