Evidence is presented that this factor is defective in the AB-variant of infantile GM2 gangliosidosis which is characterized by an accumulation of glycolipids GM2 and GA2 despite the fact that the degrading enzymes, hexosaminidases A and B, retain normal [wwww.unboundmedicine.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.com]

Infantile Sandhoff disease has similar symptoms and prognosis, except that there is deficiency of both hexosaminidase A and hexosaminidase B. [en.wikipedia.org]

It may affect the whole body or any of its parts, and its etiology, pathology, and prognosis may be known or unknown. Central In anatomy and medicine (as elsewhere), central is the opposite of "peripheral" which means away from the center. [healthdictionary.info]

This cherry-red spot is the same finding that Warren Tay first reported in 1881, when he identified a case of Tay–Sachs disease, and it has the same etiology. [ citation needed ] The prognosis for AB variant is the same as for infantile Tay–Sachs disease [en.wikipedia.org]

Summary Epidemiology The prevalence of the disease is 1 case per 320 000 live births. Clinical description Three variants have been described according to age of onset. The infantile form (type 1) begins between 3 and 6 months of age. [orpha.net]

Classification and naming for many genetic disorders reflects history, because most diseases were first observed and classified based on biochemistry and pathophysiology before genetic diagnosis was available. [en.wikipedia.org]

Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases are lysosomal storage disorders, also referred to as GM2 gangliosidoses, caused by deficiencies [mayocliniclabs.com]

The adult form of the disease, however, is sometimes milder, and may only lead to muscle weakness that impairs walking or the ability to get out of bed. [18] Pathophysiology Sandhoff disease has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. [ipfs.io]

Mutations in the GM2A gene disrupt the activity of the GM2 ganglioside activator, which prevents beta-hexosaminidase A from breaking down GM2 ganglioside. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
