Human disease
Sandhoff disease
Mondo defines it as: “A lysosomal disorder from the GM2 gangliosidosis family, caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the HEXB gene, characterized by GM2 ganglioside accumulation in the nervous system and progressive central nervous system degeneration.”
1 disease group in OMIA reaches this disease, through OMIA's own Mondo link or its OMIM numbers. The page shows the chain. It does not say whether an animal is a model of this disease.
