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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Foundation for Research in Genetics and Endocrinology, FRIGE's Institute of Human Genetics	Feb 21, 2020	A heterozygous missense variation in exon 8 of the HEXA gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Arginine for Methionine at codon 301 was detected. The observed variant c.902T>G (p.Met301Arg) has not been reported in the 1000 genomes and ExAC databases. The in silico prediction of the variant is possibly damaging by PolyPhen-2 (HumDiv) and damaging by MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 03, 2023	Variant summary: HEXA c.902T>G (p.Met301Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Glycoside hydrolase family 20, catalytic domain (IPR015883) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251438 control chromosomes. c.902T>G has been reported in the literature in homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Tay-Sachs Disease (Akil_1993, Cheema_2020). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 8490625, 33083013). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified as Pathogenic (n=1), Likely Pathogenic (n=1) and VUS (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
Affects, no assertion criteria provided	literature only	OMIM	Jan 01, 1993	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 28, 2023	This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 301 of the HEXA protein (p.Met301Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs121907977, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Tay-Sachs disease (PMID: 8490625, 33083013). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3933). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt HEXA protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
