The study suggests that SD likely represents the most common subtype of rare infantile GM2 gangliosidosis identified among Thai patients. We firstly described a potential common variant in HEXB in Thai patients with infantile onset SD. The data can aid a rapid molecular confirmation of infantile SD starting with the hotspot variant and the use of expanded carrier testing.
