Sandhoff disease is a lysosomal genetic, lipid storage disorder caused by the inherited deficiency to create functional beta-hexosaminidases A and B. [1] [2] These catabolic enzymes are needed to degrade the neuronal membrane components, ganglioside GM2, its derivative GA2, the glycolipid globoside in visceral tissues, [1] and some oligosaccharides.
The diseases are better known by their individual names: Tay–Sachs disease, AB variant, and Sandhoff disease. Beta-hexosaminidase is a vital hydrolytic enzyme, found in the lysosomes, that breaks down lipids. When beta-hexosaminidase is no longer functioning properly, the lipids accumulate in the nervous tissue of the brain and cause problems.
Signs and symptoms of GM2-gangliosidosis, AB variant are identical with those of infantile Tay–Sachs disease, except that enzyme assay testing shows normal levels of hexosaminidase A. [2] Infantile Sandhoff disease has similar symptoms and prognosis, except that there is deficiency of both hexosaminidase A and hexosaminidase B. Infants with this disorder typically appear normal until the age ...

Charles Hulbert, who reported Czartan's case in an 1825 collection, added that John (172) and his wife Sara [72] (164) both died in Hungary in 1741 after 148 years of marriage. [70] The Book Validation of Exceptional Longevity has the old couples last name as Rowin, [ 72 ] while The Virgin Birth and the Incarnation puts John and Sara's married ...
Highly variable, infantile neurovisceral Niemann Pick disease (Type A ASMD) is usually fatal before 3 years of age. Estimasted mortality before adulthood for the Chronic visceral form (type B) is around 15-25%. Many live well into adulthood and may reach a normal lifespan. Diagnosis have been made in the 7th decade of life. [4] [5] [6] Fabry ...
