Other gangliosidosis - what does this mean
Other gangliosidosis is a group of rare, inherited metabolic diseases caused by a deficiency of specific enzymes, which leads to the accumulation of certain lipids in the body's cells. this accumulation affects the nervous system and can cause progressive physical and mental problems. symptoms vary depending on the specific type of gangliosidosis, but may include seizures, vision problems, muscle weakness, and developmental delays.
What happens during the disease - other gangliosidosis
Other gangliosidoses are a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by the accumulation of certain fatty substances in the body's cells, particularly in the brain and nervous system. these disorders are caused by mutations in genes involved in the metabolism of gangliosides, which are large molecules composed of a sugar and a fatty acid. the accumulation of gangliosides leads to the dysfunction of the nervous system and other organs, resulting in various neurological and physical symptoms.
