Scope note: Enfermedad hereditaria autosómica ocasionada por deficiencia de las enzimas hexosaminidasa A y B (ver BETA-N-ACETILHEXOSAMINIDASA) que produce acumulación del gangliósido GM2 y del esfingolípido globósido en las neuronas y otros órganos. Las manifestaciones clínicas recuerdan a la ENFERMEDAD DE TAY-SACHS, pero no se limita a los judíos y puede caracterizarse por hepatoesplenomegalia. La forma infantil se presenta en los 4 primeros meses de vida con retraso psicomotor, hipotonía seguida de espasticidad y manchas de color rojo cereza en la mácula. Se ha descrito la forma juvenil infrecuente y la forma adulta. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p92)

Scope note: An autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by an accumulation of G(M2) GANGLIOSIDE in neurons and other tissues. It is caused by mutation in the common beta subunit of HEXOSAMINIDASE A and HEXOSAMINIDASE B. Thus this disease is also known as the O variant since both hexosaminidase A and B are missing. Clinically, it is indistinguishable from TAY-SACHS DISEASE.
