Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PS3PM2PP3PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000520.6(HEXA):c.986+3A>G variant causes a splice region, intron change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000291 in 1,612,988 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000914693: "In one study, exons 7 to 9 of the c.986+3A>G variant HEXA were amplified and the resulting mRNA product was shown to be lacking exon 8, suggesting this variant affects splicing (Richard et al. 1995)."" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

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 was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points.

PS3

PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000914693: "In one study, exons 7 to 9 of the c.986+3A>G variant HEXA were amplified and the resulting mRNA product was shown to be lacking exon 8, suggesting this variant affects splicing (Richard et al. 1995)."; SCV000919505: A publication, Richard_1995, functionally assessed the variant and found it to cause exon 8 to be deleted, which is located in the Glycoside hydrolase family 20, catalytic domain (via InterPro).; SCV000937827: Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 8, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 7551830).; SCV004847334: "functional studies confirm skipping of exon 8 leading to a premature stop codon which is predicted to result in an abnormal or absent protein (Richard 1995 PMID: 7551830)."; SCV004168354: Published functional studies demonstrate the variant a damaging effect on splicing of HEXA mRNA (Richard et al., 1995);; SCV005360171: Splicing assays also reveal this variant results in exclusion of exon 8 (Richard et al. 1995. PubMed ID: 7551830).

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PP3
