Filipin recognizes both GM1 and cholesterol in GM1 gangliosidosis mouse brain
Filipin is an antibiotic polyene widely used as a histochemical marker for cholesterol. We previously reported cholesterol/filipin-positive staining in brain of β-galactosidase (β-gal) knockout (−/−) mice (GM1 gangliosidosis).

Thirteen year retrospective review of the spectrum of inborn errors of metabolism presenting in a tertiary center in Saudi Arabia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are individually rare; however, they are collectively common. More than 600 human diseases caused by inborn errors of metabolism are now recognized, and this number is constantly increasing as new concepts ...

Analysis of the human diseasome reveals phenotype modules across common, genetic, and infectious diseases [PDF]
Phenotypes are the observable characteristics of an organism arising from its response to the environment. Phenotypes associated with engineered and natural genetic variation are widely recorded using phenotype ontologies in model organisms, as are signs

GM1 gangliosidosis (type 1) in a cat [PDF]
A kitten with clinical and morphological symptoms of a neurovisceral lysosomal-storage disease has been shown to have a marked deficiency of acidic beta-D-galactosidase in the brain, kidney and spleen. Chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose and inhibition studies with 2,5-dihydroxymethyl-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine, a selective inhibitor of the ...

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 ...

High-throughput imaging method for direct assessment of GM1 ganglioside levels in mammalian cells
GM1-gangliosidosis is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the gene GLB1, which encodes acid β-galactosidase (β-gal). The lack of activity in this lysosomal enzyme leads to accumulation of GM1 gangliosides (GM1) in cells.

NCLs and ER: A stressful relationship. [PDF]
The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders with variable age of onset, characterized by the lysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent ceroid lipopigments.

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.
