Descriptor gangliosidosis
Scope note: Grupo de enfermedades hereditarias, a menudo fatales, que se caracterizan por acumulación de GANGLIÓSIDOS en los LISOSOMAS, secundaria a estados de deficiencia enzimática. Las gangliosidosis incluyen la ENFERMEDAD DE TAY-SACHS, GANGLIOSIDOSIS GM1, GANGLIOSIDOSIS GM2 y la ENFERMEDAD DE SANDHOFF, que comparten el comienzo neonatal o infantil del deterioro del SISTEMA NERVIOSO CENTRAL.

Scope note: A group of autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorders marked by the accumulation of GANGLIOSIDES. They are caused by impaired enzymes or defective cofactors required for normal ganglioside degradation in the LYSOSOMES. Gangliosidoses are classified by the specific ganglioside accumulated in the defective degradation pathway.
Annotation: coordinate IM with specific ganglioside (IM) but GANGLIOSIDOSIS, GM1 and GANGLIOSIDOSES, GM2 are available
