Phenotypic characterisation of human iPSC neuronal models of GM2 gangliosidoses [PDF]

open access: yes
Gangliosides are crucial components on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of many cells, especially neurons. Their functions are broad and varied but their high abundance in neurons leaves these cells especially vulnerable to the effects of their ...

Seizures and electroencephalographic findings in inborn errors of metabolism: Clues to differential diagnosis in the neonatal period, infancy, childhood and adolescence, and review of the literature

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 745-802, October 2025.
Abstract Although inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a rare cause of epilepsy, seizures are a common presentation in these disorders. Seizures in IEM are frequently refractory to conventional anti‐seizure medication and might warrant initiation of specific treatments based on vitamins or dietary modifications or provision of alternative substrates ...

An Inducible Mouse Model of Late Onset Tay–Sachs Disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2002
Mouse models of the GM2 gangliosidoses, Tay–Sachs and Sandhoff disease, are null for the hexosaminidase α and β subunits respectively. The Sandhoff (Hexb−/−) mouse has severe neurological disease and mimics the human infantile onset variant. However, the

Tay-Sachs disease

open access: yesRevista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2019
Introduction: Lysosomal storage disease is caused by the deficiency of a single hydrolase (lysosomal enzymes). GM2 gangliosidoses are autosomal recessive disorders caused by deficiency of β-hexosaminidase and Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is one of its three ...
