[Gangliosidosis GM1. Clinical, radiologic, biochemical and histological studies in two cases (author's transl)]. 1977

M C Roche Herrero, and I Pascual Castroviejo, and J G Leroy, and F González Sastre, and M Gutiérrez

Two cases of Gangliosidosis GM1 are presented. They are a child who showed psychomotor backward and generalized osteoporosis, died at 16 months, and a girl studied because of psychomotor backward when she was less than a year. This girl showed radiological vertebrae alterations similar to mucopolysaccharidosis and died when she was 7 years old. The enzymatic determinations in serum and cultured fibroblasts showed beta-galactosidase deficiency in both cases. Important storage of cerebral gangliosides with increase of the percentage of GM1 was also found in both cases. Histological alterations were found in some other organs besides the brain.

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

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.
