GM1 ganglioside treatment of Parkinson's disease: an open pilot study of safety and efficacy.

abstract：:GM1 gangliosidosis is usually a pediatric disease caused by hereditary acid beta-galactosidase deficiency. There have been a few cases in adults. We saw a 51-year-old Japanese man with type 3 GM1 gangliosidosis who was manifesting dementia, dysarthria, gait disturbance, and limb rigidity. Radiologic studies showed pla...
