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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Feb 16, 2021	Variant summary: HEXA c.1307_1308delTA (p.Ile436SerfsX7) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251354 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1307_1308delTA has been reported in the literature in an individual in homozygous state affected with Tay-Sachs Disease (Zampieri_2012). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No other 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 likely pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 19, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile436Serfs*7) in the HEXA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in HEXA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1833974, 8490625). This variant is present in population databases (rs777042785, gnomAD 0.008%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Tay-Sachs disease (PMID: 22441121). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189046). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
