30 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: GM1 gangliosidosis (GM1) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of acid beta-galactosidase (GLB1; EC3.2.1.23). Here, we identify three novel mutations in the GLB1 gene from two Han Chinese patients with GM1 that appear correlated with clinical phenotype. METHODS: One of the two Han Chinese patients with GM1 presented with the juvenile form, and the other with the...
