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.
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 ...
(E76.0) Mucopolysaccharidoses, including Hunter syndrome and Hurler disease (E77) Glycoprotein storage disorders (E77.0-E77.1, E75.11) Mucolipidoses; Mucolipidosis IV is a gangliosidosis; Also, glycogen storage disease type II (Pompe disease) is a defect in lysosomal metabolism as well, [6] although it is otherwise classified into E74.0 in ICD-10.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the average life expectancy in the U.S. is about 77.5 years as of their most recent mortality report in 2022. However, averages can be ...
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 ...

Gaucher's disease can cause brain damage and seizures, but these effects are not usually present in the form manifested among Ashkenazi Jews; while those affected still bruise easily, and it can still potentially rupture the spleen, it generally has only a minor impact on life expectancy.
