GM2 gangliosidosis
MONDO:0017720A group of recessively inherited diseases characterized by the intralysosomal accumulation of G(M2) GANGLIOSIDE in the neuronal cells. Subtypes include mutations of enzymes in the BETA-N-ACETYLHEXOSAMINIDASES system or G(M2) ACTIVATOR PROTEIN leading to disruption of normal degradation of GANGLIOSIDES, a subclass of ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS.
Also known as: GM>2< gangliosidosis, gangliosidosis GM2, GM2-gangliosidosis, B, B1, AB variant
19 clinical trials for this condition and its sub-types, 14 tagged with GM2 gangliosidosis itself.
