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]

The missense variant c.1154A>G (p.Gln385Arg) in HEXA gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant is reported with the allele frequency (0.0004%) in the gnomAD and novel in 1000 genome database. The amino acid Glutamine at position 385 is changed to a Arginine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The residue is conserved across species. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -
