Preferred Label : sandhoff disease;
MeSH definition : An autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by an accumulation
of G(M2) GANGLIOSIDE in neurons and other tissues. It is caused by mutation in the
common beta subunit of HEXOSAMINIDASE A and HEXOSAMINIDASE B. Thus this disease is
also known as the O variant since both hexosaminidase A and B are missing. Clinically,
it is indistinguishable from TAY-SACHS DISEASE.;
