Adult GM1-gangliosidosis: clinical patterns and rectal biopsy. 1985

T Nakano, and S Ikeda, and K Kondo, and N Yanagisawa, and S Tsuji

We studied a family with adult GM1-gangliosidosis. The proband, aged 38, had slowly progressive extrapyramidal signs with prominent dystonia, starting at about age 19. Two other patients, aged 45 and 43, had occasional slight dystonia, but led normal social lives because of mildness of their symptoms. Rectal biopsy of the proband showed histiocytic infiltration and membranous cytoplasmic bodies in the autonomic neurons. This family shows the clinical heterogeneity in adult GM1-gangliosidosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002855 Chromatography, Thin Layer Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose.

D004421 Dystonia An attitude or posture due to the co-contraction of agonists and antagonist muscles in one region of the body. It most often affects the large axial muscles of the trunk and limb girdles. Conditions which feature persistent or recurrent episodes of dystonia as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as DYSTONIC DISORDERS.
