Genetics and Therapies for GM2 Gangliosidosis [PDF]
Tay-Sachs disease, caused by impaired β-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity, was the first GM2 gangliosidosis to be studied and one of the most severe and earliest lysosomal diseases to be described. The condition, associated with the pathological build-up of GM2 ganglioside, has acquired almost iconic status and serves as a paradigm in the study of ...

Cellular and genetic therapies for haemophilia [PDF]
Summary. Haemophilia continues to be a prime target for a variety of gene and cell‐based therapies. Pre‐clinical successes in both mouse and dog models of the disease have been documented with a variety of approaches over the past decade, and there have now been six small clinical trials of gene transfer in haemophilia.
