Biochemical consequences of mutations causing the GM2 gangliosidoses [PDF]

open access: yesBiochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1999
The hydrolysis of GM2-ganglioside is unusual in its requirements for the correct synthesis, processing, and ultimate combination of three gene products. Whereas two of these proteins are the alpha- (HEXA gene) and beta- (HEXB) subunits of beta-hexosaminidase A, the third is a small glycolipid transport protein, the GM2 activator protein (GM2A), which ...

A mutation in the gene of a glycolipid-binding protein (GM2 activator) that causes GM2-gangliosidosis variant AB [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1991
GM2-gangliosidoses are neurological disorders caused by a genetic deficiency of either the β-hexosaminidase A or the GM2 activator, a glycolipid binding protein.

Genetics and Therapies for GM2 Gangliosidosis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Gene Therapy, 2018
Tay-Sachs disease, caused by impaired β-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity, was the first GM2 gangliosidosis to be studied and one of the most severe and earliest lysosomal diseases to be described.

Serial 1H-MRS in GM2 gangliosidoses

European Journal of Pediatrics, 2007
GM2 gangliosidoses are a group of neuronal storage disorders caused by deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme hexosaminidase A. Clinically, the disease is marked by a relentless encephalopathy. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) provides in-vivo measurement of various brain metabolites including N-acetyl aspartate+N-acetyl aspartate glutamate (

GM2 Gangliosidoses

2010
The GM2 gangliosidoses represent a heterogeneous group of lysosomal storage diseases characterised by the deposition of GM2 ganglioside and related glycolipids. They are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. The basis for the various forms of GM2 gangliosidoses lies in the multifaceted catabolism of GM2 ganglioside, which requires complex ...

Nomenclature of GM2–gangliosidoses

Clinical Genetics, 1980
As a supplement to the recently proposed systematic nomenclature for the genotypes and phenotypes of GM2–gangliosidoses (O'Brien 1978b), it is suggested that guidelines be adopted for the use of eponyms and type designations in connection with this group of sphingolipidoses.

Gangliosidoses (GM1 and GM2)

2016
GM1 gangliosidosis is due to beta-galactosidase deficiency. The adult-onset form is characterized by progressive generalized dystonia, often associated with akineto-rigid Parkinsonism. Mild skeletal dysplasia and short stature are good diagnostic clues. GM2 gangliosidosis is due to beta-hexosaminidase deficiency.

Therapeutic evaluation of GM2 gangliosidoses by ELISA using anti-GM2 ganglioside antibodies

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2007
GM2 gangliosidoses, including Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease and the AB variant, comprise deficiencies of beta-hexosaminidase isozymes and GM2 ganglioside activator protein associated with accumulation of GM2 ganglioside (GM2) in lysosomes and neurosomatic clinical manifestations.
