First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows children and adults with Tay-Sachs, Sandhoff, and GM1 gangliosidosis to understand how these diseases progress. Researchers will measure changes in motor skills, communication, and behavior each year. The goal is to create a clear picture of the diseases so future treatments, like gene therapy, can be tested effectively.
