• 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)

• Alpers syndrome
  19 June 2005

  Definition: Alpers syndrome is usually characterized by a clinical triad of psychomotor retardation, intractable epilepsy, and liver failure in infants and young children.
  The illness usually begins in early life with convulsions. A progressive neurologic disorder characterized by spasticity, myoclonus, and dementia ensues. Status epilepticus is often the terminating development. Definitive diagnosis is shown by postmortem examination of the brain and liver.
