[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HEXB_HUMAN HEXB_HUMAN]] Defects in HEXB are the cause of GM2-gangliosidosis type 2 (GM2G2) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/268800 268800]]; also known as Sandhoff disease. GM2-gangliosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease marked by the accumulation of GM2 gangliosides in the neuronal cells. GM2G2 is clinically indistinguishable from GM2-gangliosidosis type 1, presenting startle reactions, early blindness, progressive motor and mental deterioration, macrocephaly and cherry-red spots on the macula.<ref>PMID:1720305</ref><ref>PMID:1531140</ref><ref>PMID:8357844</ref><ref>PMID:7626071</ref><ref>PMID:7557963</ref><ref>PMID:7633435</ref><ref>PMID:8950198</ref><ref>PMID:9401004</ref><ref>PMID:9856491</ref><ref>PMID:9694901</ref> | |||
