Clinical, biochemical and mutation profile in Indian patients with Sandhoff disease.

Abstract excerpt

Sandhoff disease (SD) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in HEXB gene. Molecular pathology is unknown in Indian patients with SD. The present study is aimed to determine mutations spectrum and molecular pathology leading to SD in 22 unrelated patients confirmed by the deficiency of β-hexosaminidase-A and total-hexosaminidase in leukocytes. To date, nearly 86...
