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]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

PVS1

Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.06352201 fraction of the gene.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 27, 2023	This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 5 of the HEXA gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs185429231, gnomAD 0.02%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with hexosaminidase A deficiency (PMID: 8484765, 12027830). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as Int5-SA(g-1>t). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 569012). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 6, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 8484765). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 25, 2018	Variant summary: HEXA c.571-1G>T is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 246232 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.571-1G>T, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Tay-Sachs Disease where it was indicated to be one of the major mutations found in the Japanese population (Tanaka_2003). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
