Corneal clouding in GM1-generalized gangliosidosis.

A Babarik, P F Benson, A H Fensom
PMCID: PMC1042749  PMID: 823960

Abstract

Corneal clouding is added to the list of clinical and chemical abnormalities which occur both in GM1-generalized gangliosidosis and in Hurler's syndrome (and some other mucopolysaccharidoses). The parents of our patient were first cousin Yemeni and had partial beta-galactosidase deficiency in their leucocytes and cultured fibroblasts.
