title: [Lysosomal beta-galactosidase properties and the molecular genetics of GM1 gangliosidosis].
abstract: Review of the data is presented on the hereditary disease gangliosidosis GM1 and on the enzyme beta-galactosidose, deficiency of which is responsible for this disease. Heterogeneity of the disease and existence of various forms of beta-galactosidase are considered. Possible correlation is discussed between the defects of the enzyme forms detected and the type of the disease.
