Six patients from 3 families developed adult GM2 gangliosidosis resulting from severe .beta.-hexosaminidase A deficiency. The clinical picture varied between and within families and included spinocerebellar, various motor neuron and cerebellar connection syndromes. Psychosis appeared in each family. Involvement of 3 generations was recorded in 1 family. The phenotype of adult GM2 gangliosidosis is variable and cannot form a basis for genetic classification. Detailed hexosaminidase determinations in 8 patients from 5 families revealed all patients to have minor quantities of hexosaminidase A (about 15% of normal), with marked increase in hexosaminidase I isozyme.
