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]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 200 of the HEXA protein (p.Val200Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs1800429, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Tay-Sachs disease (PMID: 1415222). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 446383). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects HEXA function (PMID: 1415222, 16698036). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.598G>A (p.V200M) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 6) of the HEXA gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 598, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 200 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
