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]

Variant summary: The HEXA c.745C>T (p.Arg249Trp) variant causes a missense change involving a conserved nucleotide with 5/5 in silico tools predicting a damaging outcome. The variant of interest was found in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 28/121408 (1/4336), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic HEXA variant of 1/715. The variant of interest is known to be a common pseudodeficiency allele, which is not associated with neurologic disease but is associated wtih reduced degradation of the synthetic substrate when HEX A enzymatic activity is determined (Gene Reviews). Therefore, the variant of interest is classified as Benign. -

pseudodeficiency The Arg249Trp variant in HEXA is a well-established pseudodeficiency allele for HEXA activity (Cao 1993) and has been identified in 0.05% (5/8594) of European American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs138058578). The Arg249Trp variant is clinically benign (i.e., has normal activity in vivo) but has reduced HEXA enzyme activity toward synthetic substrates and therefore can produce a false positive result on enzyme analysis, a technique often used for carrier screening (Hoffman 2013).
