" /> Gm1-gangliosidosis, type II - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Gm1-gangliosidosis, type II;

Symbol : GM1G2;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Gangliosidosis, generalized gm1, juvenile type; Gangliosidosis, generalized gm1, type II; Gangliosidosis, generalized gm1, type 2;

Description : GM1-gangliosidosis type II is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by slowly progressive generalized neurodegeneration and mild skeletal changes, with onset between 7 months and 3 years of age. Unlike the severe infantile type I, type II is usually not associated with macular cherry-red spots or organomegaly. Within type II, those with somewhat earlier onset and earlier death are considered to have the 'late-infantile' form, whereas those with slightly later onset and survival into late childhood are referred to as having the 'juvenile' form (Caciotti et al., 2003). However, there is no strict age marker to distinguish between these 2 type II forms. GLB1 enzyme activity in type II ranges from approximately 1 to 4% of control values (Nishimoto et al., 1991; Yoshida et al., 1991).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the beta-1-galactosidase gene (GLB, 230500.0003);

Laboratory abnormalities : Decreased beta-galactosidase activity (leukocyte, fibroblast, plasma);

Prefixed ID : #230600;
