burak Cherry red spot basically means niemann-pick or tay sachs. Two differences between is: 1- No HSM in Tay Sachs, HSM in niemann-pick. 2- Both of them has muscle weakness but there is hyperreflexia in Tay Sachs, but areflexia in niemann pick disease. In stem cell HSM is not described and hyperreflexia noted. +4

abhishek021196 What is HSM? +

mysticsoul HSM - HepatoSplenoMegaly. Cherry red spots think of Tay Sachs, deficient enzyme - HeXosaminidase A, accumulated substrate GM2 ganglioside. Niemann-Pick - Spingomyelinase, Spingomyelin <- which is not even a choice. FA18 Pg 88 +

Nobody has mentioned the super high yield dirtymed video... these mnemonics have saved me countless times... In this case, "a GANG of 6 small jews" helps me remember that Tay-Sachs(six) is a deficiency in the enzyme HEXosaminidase A (six), has an increase in GM2 GANGlioside, and doesn't present with hepatosplenomegaly (small).

Since they both have cherry-red spots, two easy ways to differentiate between Tay-Sachs (TS) and Niemann Pick (NP):

(1)liver/spleen: TS: normal ; NP: large

(2) age: TS: <6 months; NP: childhood/adolescence

Bonus: it takes time (older age in NP) to develop hepatosplenomegaly (HSM in NP)
