Adult type GMl-gangliosidosis: a complementation study on somatic cell hybrids. 1979

Y Suzuki, and T Furukawa, and A Hoogeveen, and F Verheijen, and H Galjaard

Two adult siblings with progressive pyramidal and extrapyramidal lesions, and generalized muscle atrophy had a profound deficiency of beta-galactosidase in all the cells and body fluids examined. Neuraminidase activity was normal in fibroblasts. The fused fibroblasts of infantile GMl-gangliosidosis and each of these adult patients had beta-galactosidase activity as expected for the average value in a mixture of equal numbers of parental cells. However, there was a remarkable increase in the activity of beta-galactosidase when the cells from each of these cases were fused with those from the beta-galactosidase-deficient adult with cherry-red spots, cerebellar ataxia, myoclonus and neuraminidase deficiency in fibroblasts. It was concluded that the two siblings represent a new genetic variant (adult type) of GMl-gangliosidosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009439 Neuraminidase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-2,3, alpha-2,6-, and alpha-2,8-glycosidic linkages (at a decreasing rate, respectively) of terminal sialic residues in oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, colominic acid, and synthetic substrate. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) Sialidase,Exo-alpha-Sialidase,N-Acylneuraminate Glycohydrolases,Oligosaccharide Sialidase,Exo alpha Sialidase,Glycohydrolases, N-Acylneuraminate,N Acylneuraminate Glycohydrolases,Sialidase, Oligosaccharide
D005347 Fibroblasts Connective tissue cells which secrete an extracellular matrix rich in collagen and other macromolecules. Fibroblast
D005733 Gangliosidoses A group of autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorders marked by the accumulation of GANGLIOSIDES. They are caused by impaired enzymes or defective cofactors required for normal ganglioside degradation in the LYSOSOMES. Gangliosidoses are classified by the specific ganglioside accumulated in the defective degradation pathway.

D005816 Genetic Complementation Test A test used to determine whether or not complementation (compensation in the form of dominance) will occur in a cell with a given mutant phenotype when another mutant genome, encoding the same mutant phenotype, is introduced into that cell.
