Abstrakt: | Background: The gangliosidoses are rare inherited diseases that result in pathologic accumulation of gangliosides in the central nervous system and other tissues, leading to severe and progressive neurological impairment and early death in the childhood forms. No treatments are currently approved for the gangliosidoses, and development of treatments is impaired by limited understanding of the natural history of these diseases. Objective: The objective of this study is to improve understanding of the juvenile gangliosidoses phenotypes and the late-infantile phenotypic subtype. Methods: Through a prospective natural history study of subjects with juvenile GM1- and GM2-gangliosidosis, a timeline of clinical changes was developed for the classic juvenile phenotypes and the late-infantile phenotypes and results of serial neurodevelopmental testing was analyzed. Results: Several candidate 'outcome measures' were identified: changes in ambulation and verbalization skills, the communication domain from neurodevelopmental testing and the caregiver-reported socialization domain. Conclusions: The most common symptoms leading caregivers to seek a genetic diagnosis were changes in ambulation and verbalization. Competing Interests: No conflicts of interest to declare.
