Juvenile mucopolysaccharidosis plus disease caused by a missense mutation in VPS33A
Abstract A rare and fatal disease resembling mucopolysaccharidosis in infants, is caused by impaired intracellular endocytic trafficking due to deficiency of core components of the intracellular membrane‐tethering protein complexes, HOPS, and CORVET. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel VPS33A mutation in a patient suffering from a variant form of

Sandhoff disease, one of the GM2 gangliosidoses, is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the absence of β-hexosaminidase A and B activity and the concomitant lysosomal accumulation of its substrate, GM2 ganglioside.

Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases are genetic disorders resulting from mutations in HEXA or HEXB, which code for the α- and β-subunits of the heterodimer β-hexosaminidase A (HexA), respectively.

Efficacy of a Bicistronic Vector for Correction of Sandhoff Disease in a Mouse Model
GM2 gangliosidoses are a family of severe neurodegenerative disorders resulting from a deficiency in the β-hexosaminidase A enzyme. These disorders include Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease, caused by mutations in the HEXA gene and HEXB gene ...

Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate: a secondary storage lipid in the gangliosidoses
Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) is a negatively charged glycerophospholipid with an unusual sn-1;sn-1′ structural configuration. BMP is primarily enriched in endosomal/lysosomal membranes.

Les sphingolipides : vecteurs d’agents pathogènes et cause de maladies génétiques [PDF]
Les sphingolipides (SPL) sont des molécules ubiquitaires indispensables au maintien et au développement des organismes vivants. Ils ne sont pas répartis uniformément le long de la membrane mais regroupés sous forme de microdomaines lipidiques appelés ...

From amaurotic idiocy to biochemically defined lipid storage diseases: the first identification of GM1-Gangliosidosis [PDF]
On February 23rd 1936, a boy-child (“Kn”) died in an asylum near Munich after years of severe congenital dis-ease, which had profoundly impaired his development leading to inability to walk, talk and see as well as to severe epilepsy.

Critical role of iron in the pathogenesis of the murine gangliosidoses
Neurodegeneration is a prominent feature of the gangliosidoses, a group of lysosomal storage diseases. Here we show altered iron homeostasis in mouse models of both GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses, which are characterized by progressive depletion of iron in ...
