## Abstract Deficiency of enzyme acid Ξ²βgalactosidase causes G~M1~ gangliosidosis. Patients with adult G~M1~ gangliosidosis typically present with generalized dystonia. We describe clinical, bone marrow, and radiological features of adult G~M1~ gangliosidosis to help improve its recognition. We rep

The human GLB1 gene produces two alternatively spliced transcripts that encode the lysosomal enzyme Ξ²-galactosidase (GLB1) and the elastin binding protein (EBP). Mutations at the GLB1 locus, which are responsible for the storage disorder GM1 gangliosidosis, may affect either both proteins or GLB1 on
G(M1)-gangliosidosis is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of beta-galactosidase (GLB1). The GLB1 gene gives rise to the GLB1 lysosomal enzyme and to the elastin binding protein (EBP), involved in elastic fiber deposition. GLB1 forms a complex with protective protein cathepsin A (PP
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a heterogeneous disorder and is traditionally classified into two major types, CMT type 1 (CMT1) and CMT type 2 (CMT2). Most CMT1 patients are associated with the duplication of 17p11.2-p12 (CMT1A duplication) and small numbers of patients have mutations of the p
