Molecular pathophysiology in Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases as revealed by gene expression profiling
16 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases are lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the absence of beta-hexosaminidase activity and the accumulation of GM2 ganglioside in neurons. In each disorder, a virtually identical course of neurodegeneration begins in infancy and leads to demise generally by 4-6 years of age. Through serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), we determined gene expression profiles in cerebral...
