| Animal | β-galactosidase* | β-hexosaminidase A* | β-hexosaminidase B* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affected cat | 0.7 | 3,175 | 516 |
| Dam | 17.6 | 2,361 | 331 |
| Littermate 1 | 39.6 | 1,553 | 259 |
| Littermate 2 | 24.1 | 1,402 | 197 |
| Reference** | 51.0 ± 15.3 (n=19) | 1,135 ± 296 (n=16) | 294 ± 144 (n=16) |
