Gm2-gangliosidosis, Ab Variant

Description

The GM2-gangliosidoses are a group of disorders caused by excessive accumulation of ganglioside GM2 and related glycolipids in the lysosomes, mainly of neuronal cells. GM2-gangliosidosis AB variant is characterized by normal hexosaminidase A (HEXA ) and hexosaminidase B (HEXB ) but the inability to form a functional GM2 activator complex. The clinical and biochemical phenotype of the AB variant is very similar to that of classic Tay-Sachs disease (see {272800}) (Gravel et al., 2001).
