β-Galactosidase Deficiency in Colombia
β-Galactosidase (BGal) is the first enzyme involved in the catabolism of sphingolipids. Two pathologies have been directly associated with its deficiency: GM1 gangliosidosis and Morquio B. Morquio B is among the rarest types of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS)

GM1 gangliosidosis is a rare lysosomal disease caused by the deficiency of the enzyme β-galactosidase (β-Gal; GLB1; E.C. 3.2.1.23), responsible for the hydrolysis of terminal β-galactosyl residues from GM1 ganglioside, glycoproteins, and ...

Brain β-Galactosidase and Gm1 Gangliosidosis [PDF]
Extract: Several properties of β-galactosidase obtained from brains of controls and patients with Gm1 gangliosidosis types I and II were studied. The pH optimum of β-galactosidase was 4 in both fetal and control brain. In contrast, the pH optimum of brain β-galactosidase in patients with either type I or type II Gm1 gangliosidosis was 3. The residual β-

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 ...

Brain ceramide hexosides in Tay-Sachs disease and generalized gangliosidosis (GM1-gangliosidosis)
The carbohydrate composition was determined for ceramide hexosides isolated from brains of patients with Tay-Sachs disease and generalized gangliosidosis (hereby named GM1-gangliosidosis).Gray matter of patients with each disease showed a characteristic ...

Knockout of lysosomal enzyme-targeting gene causes abnormalities in mouse pup isolation calls [PDF]
Humans lacking a working copy of the GNPTAB gene suffer from the metabolic disease Mucolipidosis type II (MLII). MLII symptoms include mental retardation, skeletal deformities and cartilage defects as well as a speech delay with most subjects unable to ...

Abstract Introduction Hydrops fetalis carries high risks of morbidity and mortality for the fetus, as well as obstetric risks such as hypertensive disorders, or mirror syndrome, for the pregnant person. We aimed to characterize the prevalence and types of hypertensive disorders diagnosed in pregnancies with non‐immune hydrops fetalis and single ...
