• Gaucher disease
  1 October 2003

  Definition: Gaucher disease refers to a cluster of autosomal recessive disorders resulting from mutations in the gene encoding glucocerebrosidase. Acid beta-glucocerebrosidase, also known as beta-glucosidase (GBA) (EC 3.2.1.45), is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of the glycolipid glucosylceramide to ceramide and glucose.
  This disease is the most common lysosomal storage disorder. The affected gene encodes glucocerebrosidase, an enzyme that normally cleaves the glucose (...)

• Tay-Sachs disease
  18 June 2005

  Tay-Sachs disease, the most common form of GM2 gangliosidosis, results from mutations that affect the α-subunit locus on chromosome 15 and cause a severe deficiency of hexosaminidase A. This disease is especially prevalent among Jews, particularly among those of Eastern European (Ashkenazic) origin, in whom a carrier rate of 1 in 30 has been reported.
  Etiology
  Tay-Sachs disease is caused by mutation in the alpha subunit of the hexosaminidase A gene (HEXA) (MIM.606869)
