title: [GM2 gangliosidosis diagnosis and carriers detection by fractionation of N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate gel (author's transl)].
abstract: A method is described for the fractionation of GM2 gangliosidosis diagnosis and carriers detection by fractionation of N-acetyl-beta-D-Hexosaminidase by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate gel. The hexosaminidase activity is resolved into three bands that are quantified by a densitometric procedure. The methods is applied to normal controls, normal pregnant women, patients of Tay-Sachs disease, heterozigous carriers of Tay-Sachs disease, amniotic fluid, uncultured amniotic cells. The results are compared with those obtained by the "heat inactivation method".
