Molecular and clinical heterogeneity of adult GM2 gangliosidosis.

Abstract:

:Adult GM2 gangliosidosis is a rare autosomal recessive disease with widely varying neurological and psychiatric manifestations. It is caused by marked deficiency, but not total absence, of beta-hexosaminidase (Hex) A, due to a single base change in the alpha-subunit gene of Hex, resulting in a substitution of Ser for Gly at position 269 in the alpha-subunit of the enzyme. The same mutation was identified in all investigated patients, most of whom are Ashkenazi Jews. Among previously studied non-Jewish patients of unrelated families this mutation appears either homozygously or in compound heterozygosity with an unidentified alpha-subunit mutation, whereas all Ashkenazi patients are compound heterozygotes. In all but one of them the other mutation is one of the Ashkenazi infantile Tay-Sachs alleles, while in one 76-year-old woman with very mild neurological symptoms, it is an unidentified alpha-subunit mutation. At present, the little correlation that seems to exist between these different genotypes and the severity of the disease poses a serious dilemma for genetic counselors.

  • Glutathione protects astrocytes from peroxynitrite-mediated mitochondrial damage: implications for neuronal/astrocytic trafficking and neurodegeneration.

    abstract::In this study we have examined the susceptibility of the mitochondrial respiratory chain of astrocytes and astrocytes depleted of glutathione to peroxynitrite exposure. Astrocytes, as reported previously by us, appeared resistant to the actions of peroxynitrite. In contrast, depletion (-94%) of astrocytic glutathione ...
