Introduction: Lysosomal storage disease is caused by the deficiency of a single hydrolase (lysosomal enzymes). GM2 gangliosidoses are autosomal recessive disorders caused by deficiency of β-hexosaminidase and Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is one of its three forms.

Objective: To perform a review of the state of the art on TSD describing its definition, epidemiology, etiology, physiopathology, clinical manifestations and news in diagnosis and treatment.

Materials and methods: A literature search was carried out in PubMed using the MeSH terms “Tay-Sachs Disease”.

Results: 1 233 results were retrieved in total, of which 53 articles were selected. TSD is caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme β-hexosaminidase A (HexA), and is characterized by neurodevelopmental regression, hypotonia, hyperacusis and cherry-red spots in the macula. Research on molecular pathogenesis and the development of possible treatments has been limited, consequently there is no treatment established to date.

Conclusion: TSD is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder. Death usually occurs before the age of five. More research and studies on this type of gangliosidosis are needed in order to find an adequate treatment.

Introducción. La deficiencia de una sola hidrolasa (enzimas lisosomales) da como resultado una enfermedad de almacenamiento lisosomal. Las gangliosidosis GM2 son trastornos autosómicos recesivos causados por la deficiencia de β-hexosaminidasa. La enfermedad de Tay-Sachs (TSD, por sus siglas en inglés) es una de las tres presentaciones de este tipo de gangliosidosis.

Objetivo. Realizar una revisión del estado del arte de la TSD describiendo su definición, epidemiología, etiología, fisiopatología, manifestaciones clínicas y actualidades en su diagnóstico y tratamiento.

Materiales y métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en PubMed utilizando como único término MeSH “Tay-Sachs Disease”.

Resultados. Se encontraron 1 233 publicaciones y se seleccionaron 53 artículos. La TSD es originada por la deficiencia de la enzima lisosomal β-hexosaminidasa A (HexA) y se caracteriza por regresión del neurodesarrollo, hipotonía, hiperacusia y manchas maculares rojo cereza. La investigación de la patogenia molecular y el desarrollo de posibles tratamientos han sido limitados y en la actualidad no se cuenta con uno plenamente establecido.

Conclusiones. La TSD es un trastorno neurodegenerativo autosómico recesivo y por lo general la muerte se produce antes de los 5 años de edad. Son necesarias más investigaciones y estudios sobre este tipo de gangliosidosis con el fin de encontrar un tratamiento adecuado.
