Expanding the spectrum of HEXA mutations in Indian patients with Tay–Sachs disease

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2014
Tay–Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder occurring due to impaired activity of β-hexosaminidase-A (EC 3.2.1.52), resulting from the mutation in HEXA gene.

Sphingolipids in Emotional Well‐Being

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 2, February 2026.
Sphingolipids are essential constituents of neuronal membranes and are increasingly recognized as contributors to the key behavioral manifestations associated with emotional well‐being. ABSTRACT Emotional well‐being is a multifactorial concept, which comprises not only life quality of human individuals, but also their mental and physical health.

Therapeutic Effects of Nizubaglustat in a Mouse Model of GM2 Gangliosidosis

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Nizubaglustat is a novel selective inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) and the non‐lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (NLGase, GbA2) with brain penetrant properties. It is currently in clinical development as an oral treatment for rare lysosomal storage diseases with neurological involvement. One such disease group called GM2 gangliosidosis,

Targeted Carrier Screening for Thalassemia, Hereditary Deafness, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy: A Feasible Approach for Preventing Birth Defects in China's Community Healthcare System

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Current carrier screening primarily focuses on high detection rates and broad testing ranges. We approach the issue from the perspective of a community physician, evaluating the suitability of carrier screening based on factors such as cost, ease of report interpretation, and compliance issues.

The physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and signaling in the central nervous system

open access: yesBrain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Sphingolipids are vital components of cell membranes. Metabolic disruptions of sphingolipids, including ceramide and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, are linked to neurological disorders. This article summarizes the classification, structure, and metabolic processes of sphingolipids, and the physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and
