Genes affected

HEXB (HGNC:4879): (hexosaminidase subunit beta) Hexosaminidase B is the beta subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase that, together with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Beta-hexosaminidase is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, which are encoded by separate genes. Both beta-hexosaminidase alpha and beta subunits are members of family 20 of glycosyl hydrolases. Mutations in the alpha or beta subunit genes lead to an accumulation of GM2 ganglioside in neurons and neurodegenerative disorders termed the GM2 gangliosidoses. Beta subunit gene mutations lead to Sandhoff disease (GM2-gangliosidosis type II). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a disulfide_bond (size 46) in uniprot entity HEXB_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (80%) in NM_000521.4
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.0050745904).
• BP6: Variant 5-74689390-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr5-74689390-A-G is described in ClinVar as Benign. ClinVar VariationId is 3874.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.264 is higher than 0.05.
