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.

Uncertain:4

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 03, 2022	This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 456 of the HEXB protein (p.Tyr456Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs121907982, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Sandhoff disease (PMID: 8106452, 27021291). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3877). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on HEXB function (PMID: 23127958). 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. -

Variant summary: HEXB c.1367A>C (p.Tyr456Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Glycoside hydrolase family 20, catalytic domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.8e-05 in 251424 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in HEXB causing Sandhoff Disease (8.8e-05 vs 0.0015), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1367A>C has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Sandhoff Disease (Banerjee_1991) and one individual with cerebellar ataxias (Mallaret_2016). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. One functional study showed that this variant led to non-expression of HEXB protein (Banerjee_1994), however, another study showed that this variant did not affect expression or dimer formation of HEXA and HEXB (Yamada_2013). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23127958, 1720305, 8106452, 27142713). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3877). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
