Two adult sisters had spinocerebellar degeneration. Biochemical studies revealed a very low activity of both fraction A and fraction B of the lysosomal enzyme, hexosaminidase, in serum and leukocytes. A skin biopsy showed lesions suggestive of neuronal storage disease. The disorder seems to be an adult form of GM2 gangliosidosis.
两名成年姐妹患有脊髓小脑变性。生化研究显示,血清和白细胞中的溶酶体酶己糖胺酶的A组分和B组分活性都非常低。皮肤活检显示有提示神经元贮积病的病变。这种疾病似乎是GM2神经节苷脂贮积症的成人形式。
