Abstract excerpt
Technical advances in molecular biology have permitted the detailed study of specific genes in the pathogenesis of inborn errors of metabolism. Analysis of inborn errors of metabolism due to mutations in isoenzyme genes are summarized in this paper. GM2-gangliosidosis results from a deficiency in the activity of beta-N-acetyl hexosaminidase (HEX), and produces two types of diseases: Tay-Sachs and Sandohoff...
