Novel CTSA Variant Identified in a Thai Family With Late-Infantile Galactosialidosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Galactosialidosis (GS) is a rare lysosomal storage disease (LSD) with variable onset caused by a defect in protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA) encoded by the CTSA gene. The late‐infantile onset is characterized by developmental delay, visceromegaly, coarse facies, and cherry‐red macula.

Gangliosidosis gml juvenil como causa de regresión en el neurodesarrollo: reporte de caso
La gangliosidosis GM1 es ocasionada por deficiencia en la actividad catalítica de la enzima lisosomal beta-galacto-sidasa, dando origen a la acumulación del esfingolípido conocido como gangliósido GM1.

Background: GM1 gangliosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by biallelic mutations in the GLB1 gene. Neurodegeneration, hypotonia, visceromegaly, macular cherry-red spots, skeletal dysplasia, and coarse and dysmorphic face ...

Glycomimetic-based pharmacological chaperones for lysosomal storage disorders: lessons from Gaucher, GM1-gangliosidosis and Fabry diseases [PDF]
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are often caused by mutations that destabilize native folding and impair the trafficking of enzymes, leading to premature endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation, deficiencies of specific hydrolytic functions ...

GM1 gangliosidosis associated with neonatal-onset of diffuse ecchymoses and mongolian spots
A 7-month old girl with GM1 gangliosidosis type 1 manifested with diffuse ecchymosis and Mongolian spots. The cutaneous lesions were present at birth before the appearance of the other features of the disease. We postulate that dermal pigmentation may be

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for the Treatment of Lysosomal Storage Disorders. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Lysosomal disorders (LSDs) are a group of rare metabolic disorders, with an overall incidence of 1:4800 to 1:8000 live births. LSDs are primarily caused by dysfunctional lysosomal enzymes, which typically lead to the progressive accumulation of substrates within cellular lysosomes.

Assessment of a targeted resequencing assay as a support tool in the diagnosis of lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]
BACKGROUND: With over 50 different disorders and a combined incidence of up to 1/3000 births, lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) constitute a major public health problem and place an enormous burden on affected individuals and their families.

Late-infantile GM1 gangliosidosis
Abstract Rationale: Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside (GM1) gangliosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of ß-galactosidase. Because clinical symptoms of GM1 gangliosidosis overlap with other neurodevelopmental disorders, the diagnosis of this disease is not easy, specifically in late ...
