Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate: a secondary storage lipid in the gangliosidoses

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) is a negatively charged glycerophospholipid with an unusual sn-1;sn-1′ structural configuration. BMP is primarily enriched in endosomal/lysosomal membranes.

Genotype-phenotype correlation of gangliosidosis mutations using in silico tools and homology modeling

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2019
Gangliosidoses, including GM1-gangliosidosis and GM2-gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease), are lysosomal disorders resulting from enzyme deficiencies and accumulation of gangliosides.

Patient and caregiver perspectives on burden of disease manifestations in late-onset Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020
Background The GM2 gangliosidoses (GM2), Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases, are rare, autosomal recessive genetic disorders caused by mutations in the lysosomal enzyme β-hexosaminidase A (HEXA) or β-hexosaminidase B (HEXB) genes, respectively.
