Additionally, the biochemical workup for TSD could be completed with MUGS testing without collecting a new specimen. [mayomedicallaboratories.com]

Workup and physical examination Both homozygotes and heterozygotes have a reduced concentration of sphingomyelin in their RBCs. Affected individuals have deficient Hex A activity and normal levels of the Hex B isozyme. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis In general terms, the earlier the presentation, the worse the prognosis. The prognosis for all forms of beta Hex deficiency is poor, with most sufferers dying in childhood. [patient.info]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) Sandhoff Disease is associated with a poor prognosis. [dovemed.com]

Treatment and prognosis Therapy primarily centers on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation which can delay disease progression 11. Prognosis depends to a large degree on the age at which a diagnosis is made. [radiopaedia.org]

(Etiology) Sandhoff Disease is caused by the deficiency of 2 enzymes, which include: β-hexosaminidase A and β-hexosaminidase B The deficiency of these enzymes is due to an abnormal (mutated) gene called HEXB. [dovemed.com]
