What is the correct code assigned for a patient with gangliosidoses, GM3?

A) E75.10
B) E75.19
C) E75.00
D) E75.01

Gangliosidoses are a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by accumulation of gangliosides in the lysosomes of nerve cells. GM3 gangliosidosis is a subtype of gangliosidoses caused by a deficiency of beta-galactosidase enzyme. The correct code for GM3 gangliosidosis is E75.19, which is the code for other gangliosidosis types. Other subtypes of gangliosidoses have specific codes, such as Tay-Sachs disease (E75.01) and Sandhoff disease (E75.02). E75.10 is the code for GM2 gangliosidosis, which includes Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases. E75.00 is the code for gangliosidosis, unspecified.
