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 ...

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

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
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

Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxias: Translating Genes to Therapies
[Color figure can be viewed at www.annalsofneurology.org] Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are disabling neurodegenerative genetic conditions affecting balance and coordination. Advancements in genomic testing have improved diagnosis, leading to a new focus on the development of targeted precision therapeutics addressing cellular, biochemical ...

Lysosomal storage diseases [PDF]
Lysosomes are cytoplasmic organelles that contain a variety of different hydrolases. A genetic deficiency in the enzymatic activity of one of these hydrolases will lead to the accumulation of the material meant for lysosomal degradation. Examples include
