Abstrakt: | Purpose: GM1 gangliosidosis (GM1) is an ultra-rare lysosomal storage disease caused by pathogenic variants in galactosidase beta 1 ( GLB1 ; NM_000404), primarily characterized by neurodegeneration, often in children. There are no approved treatments for GM1, but clinical trials using gene therapy (NCT03952637, NCT04713475) and small molecule substrate inhibitors (NCT04221451) are ongoing. Understanding the natural history of GM1 is essential for timely diagnosis, facilitating better supportive care, and contextualizing the results of therapeutic trials. Methods: Forty-one individuals with type II GM1 (n=17 late infantile and n=24 juvenile onset) participated in a single-site prospective observational study. Here, we describe the results of extensive multisystem assessment batteries, including clinical labs, neuroimaging, physiological exams, and behavioral assessments. Results: Classification of 37 distinct variants in this cohort was performed according to ACMG criteria and resulted in the upgrade of six and the submission of four new variants to pathogenic or likely pathogenic. In contrast to type I infantile, children with type II disease exhibited normal or near normal hearing and did not have cherry red maculae or significant hepatosplenomegaly. Some older children with juvenile onset developed thickened aortic and/or mitral valves with regurgitation. Serial MRIs demonstrated progressive brain atrophy that were more pronounced in those with late infantile onset. MR spectroscopy showed worsening elevation of myo-inositol and deficit of N -acetyl aspartate that were strongly correlated with scores on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale and progress more rapidly in late infantile than juvenile onset disease. Conclusion: The comprehensive serial phenotyping of type II GM1 patients expands the understanding of disease progression and clarifies some common misconceptions about type II patients. Findings from this 10-year endeavor are a pivotal step toward more timely diagnosis and better supportive care for patients. The wealth of data amassed through this effort will serve as a robust comparator for ongoing and future therapeutic trials.
