The GM2 gangliosidoses, Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease, are devastating neurodegenerative disorders caused by β-hexosaminidase A (HexA) deficiency. In the Sandhoff disease mouse model, rescue potential was severely reduced when HexA was introduced after disease onset. Here, we assess the effect of recombinant HexA and HexD3, a newly engineered mimetic of HexA optimized for the treatment of Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in infants over 1500 g at birth, using retrospective data from screenings between April 2019 and March 2022.
  • Among 168 infants, ROP was observed in 16.6% of their eyes, with varying stages identified: Stage I (32.1%), Stage II (30.35%), and severe cases in Stage III and 5.
  • Significant risk factors for ROP included male gender, lower gestational age, respiratory distress syndrome, and congenital heart disease, indicating the need for targeted monitoring in at-risk infants.
