Tay-Sacks disease: Causes
Occurs when lysosomes lack an enzyme needed to break down glycolipid (abundant in nerve cell membrane)
Enzyme is called HEXA
Nerve cell lysosomes swell with undigested lipids…interferes with NS func.
Tay-Sacks disease: Symptoms
In infants: doll-like features & pink, translucent skin ~6 months
Listlessness, motor weakness, mental retardation, seizures, blindness
Death w/n 18 months-4 years
