Critical role of iron in the pathogenesis of the murine gangliosidoses.

Neurodegeneration is a prominent feature of the gangliosidoses, a group of lysosomal storage diseases. Here we show altered iron homeostasis in mouse models of both GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses, which are characterized by progressive depletion of iron in brain tissue. This finding contrasts with the f...
