Sandhoff disease

Sandhoff disease
a GM2 gangliosidosis characterized by deficiency of both hexosaminidase A and B isozymes; it is caused by mutation in the HEXB gene, which encodes the β chain of the enzyme, common to both isozymes. Clinical features are very similar to Tay-Sachs disease, although it differs biochemically in accumulation of additional substances, such as globoside and N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides. It occurs as several forms (infantile, juvenile, and adult), decreasing in severity with increasing age of onset.
