BACKGROUND
Sandhoff disease is a GM2 gangliosidosis that may present within the first 6 months of life with developmental regression. This is the first report of a pedigree from Southeast Asia.
METHODS
All the affected siblings presented in the first year of life with developmental regression,
BACKGROUND
Infantile Sandhoff disease (ISD) is a GM2 gangliosidosis that is classified as a lysosomal storage disorder. The most common symptoms of affected individuals at presentation are neurologic involvement. Here we report clinical course and demographic features in a case series of infantile
Sandhoff disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by accumulation of GM2 gangliosides. We describe a 6-year-old male with coarse facial features, developmental delay, refractory seizures, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, who was later found to have Sandhoff disease. Previous
Sandhoff disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused due to deficiency of hexosaminidase (HEX) A and B. A 1-year-old male child presented with regression of milestones, exaggerated startle response, decreased vision, and seizures from 6 months of age. The child had coarse facies without
Infants with Sandhoff disease typically appear normal until 3-6 months of age. As the disease progresses, they present with symptoms such as loss of motor skills, exaggerated startle response to loud noise, seizures, visual loss, and paralysis. We encountered a rare case of a 22-month-old girl with
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the phenotype and genotype of a Chinese boy and his family affected by infantile Sandhoff disease.
METHODS
The proband, a boy, was the first child born to a non-consanguineous couple. He showed startle reaction after birth and progressive psychomotor regression from the age
BACKGROUND
Sandhoff disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by β-hexosaminidase deficiency in which the ganglioside GM2 and other glycolipids accumulate intracellularly within lysosomes. This process results in progressive motor neuron manifestations, death from respiratory failure and
Sandhoff disease (gangliosidosis type 0) is a lysosomal storage disorder with a deficiency of hexosaminidases A and B. After an initially normal development the clinical course of affected children is severe and rapidly progressive leading to spastic tetraparesis, epileptic seizures and early death.
Infantile Sandhoff disease is an autosomal recessive inherited disease primarily characterized by cherry red spots in the retina, muscle weakness, seizure, truncal hypotonia, hyperacusis, developmental delay and regression. The pathogenic genetic defects of the HEXB gene, which encodes the β subunit
Sandhoff disease (SD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by a mutation in the enzyme β-N-acetylhexosaminidase. Children with infantile onset SD develop seizures, loss of motor tone and swallowing problems, eventually reaching a vegetative state with death typically by 4years of age. Other
A boy with mild hand tremor since age 2 1/2 was found at 4 to have cherry-red spots and mild trucal ataxia without seizures or dementia. Biochemically, he had striking hexosaminidase deficiency (serum: 4.6 percent of normal, 88.9 percent heat-labile; leukocyte: 2.2 percent of normal, 84.6 percent
Neurological disorders are a common cause of morbidity and mortality within Pakistani populations. It is one of the most important challenges in healthcare, with significant life-long socio-economic burden.We investigated the cause of disease in three A 9-month-old boy presented with rapid deterioration of psychomotor development. He developed seizures at 2 months, and shortly thereafter lost motor skills and developed feeding difficulties, increased startle response, red maculas, and decreased vision. His measurements, including head
Identical female twins (age 11 years) with congenital ocular motor apraxia and generalized idiopathic epilepsy are reported. Their presenting symptoms were a long history of abnormal head and eye movements. One twin developed partial sensory seizures. The patients underwent 16-channel EEG,
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), two of the best-studied lysophospholipids, are known to influence diverse biological events, including organismal development as well as function and pathogenesis within multiple organ systems. These functional roles are due to a family
