Genes affected
HEXA (HGNC:4878): (hexosaminidase subunit alpha) This gene encodes a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 20 family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the alpha subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase. This enzyme, together with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Mutations in this gene lead to an accumulation of GM2 ganglioside in neurons, the underlying cause of neurodegenerative disorders termed the GM2 gangliosidoses, including Tay-Sachs disease (GM2-gangliosidosis type I). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.76).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0136 (2067/152182) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.0219 (1487/67992). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0209. There are 22 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 1008 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
