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.

Benign:5

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jan 18, 2018	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Oct 31, 2016	Variant summary: The HEXB c.1627G>A (p.Ala543Thr) variant causes a missense change involving a conserved nucleotide with 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 115/120804 (1/1052, 1 homozygote), predominantly observed in the South Asian cohort, 92/16490 (1/179, 1 homozygote), which exceeds the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic HEXB variant of 1/676. Therefore, suggesting the variant is a common polymorphism found in population(s) of South Asian origin. The variant of interest has been reported in multiple affected and healthy homozygous individuals via publications. Functional studies have shown that the variant of interest is a heat labile allele, meaning that it leads to reduction in enzyme activity and mightresult in a false non-TSD or non-SD diagnosis. Likewise, a doubly heterozygous person, for TSD and for HLB, could be misdiagnosed as a normal homozygote. In addition, multiple reputable clinical diagnostic laboratories/databases cite the variant as "benign," along with the reporting cautionary awareness for the heat labile aspect. Therefore, to indicate the potential for the variant to cause false negative results, a classification of "Probable Normal Variant/Likely Benign," has been assigned to this variant. -
other, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Eurofins Ntd Llc (ga)	Dec 18, 2012	- Variant classified as "other reportable" ??? variant is clinically benign (not associated with disease) but is reported when observed (e.g. pseudodeficiency alleles).
