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]

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

A homozygous variantion in exon 1 of the HEXA gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Asparagine for Tyrosine at codon 37 was detected. This variant has not been reported in the 1000 genomes, gnomAD (v3.1), gnomAD (v3) database and has a minor allele frequency of 0.00038% in the topmed database. The in-silico prediction of the variant is probably damaging by PolyPhen-2 and MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as variant of uncertain significance. -
