Ganglioside accumulation

MedGen UID:
1684843
Concept ID:
C5139036
Finding
Synonym: Abnormality of ganglioside metabolism
 
HPO: HP:0004345

Definition

Defects in the lysosomal glycosidases or specific co-activators, result in accumulation of the substrates, such as glycosphingolipids, including gangliosides in GM1 gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs disease) and GM2 gangliosidosis (Sandhoff disease). [from HPO]

Conditions with this feature

Mucolipidosis type IV
MedGen UID:
68663
Concept ID:
C0238286
Disease or Syndrome
Mucolipidosis IV (MLIV) is an ultra-rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by severe psychomotor delay, progressive visual impairment, and achlorhydria. Individuals with MLIV typically present by the end of the first year of life with delayed developmental milestones (due to a developmental brain abnormality) and impaired vision (resulting from a combination of corneal clouding and retinal degeneration). By adolescence, all individuals with MLIV have severe visual impairment. A neurodegenerative component of MLIV has become more widely appreciated, with the majority of individuals demonstrating progressive spastic quadriparesis and loss of psychomotor skills starting in the second decade of life. About 5% of individuals have atypical MLIV, manifesting with less severe psychomotor impairment, but still exhibiting progressive retinal degeneration and achlorhydria.
