Description : GM1-gangliosidosis type III is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized
by neurodegeneration and mild skeletal changes. Age at onset ranges from 3 to 30 years.
The disorder is less severe than GM1-gangliosidosis types I and II (230600). Type
III shows extreme clinical variability, with some patients having only focal neurologic
signs, such as dystonia, and others having more severe involvement with extrapyramidal
signs and mental retardation. GLB1 enzymatic activity usually ranges from approximately
4 to 10% of control values (Suzuki et al., 2001).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the beta-1-galactosidase gene (GLB1, 230500.0004);
Laboratory abnormalities : Decreased beta-galactosidase activity (leukocyte, fibroblast, plasma);
