OMIA:000403-9685 : Gangliosidosis, GM2, generic in Felis catus (domestic cat)

In other species: dog , pig

Categories: Lysosomal storage disease

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: A lysosomal storage disease in which there is a buildup (storage) of GM2 gangliosides (a type of glycolipid) in various tissues, due to the lack of the enzyme hexosaminidase, whose task is to break down the GM2 ganglioside into its constituents. Characterised by progressive neuromuscular dysfunction and impaired growth from an early age.

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
