Description

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect; Enzymatic activity in a cell model demonstrated a decrease to 4% of WT.; Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); The majority of missense variants in this gene are considered pathogenic (Stenson et al., 2014); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 17259242, 7717398)

Description

DNA sequence analysis of the HEXA gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.748G>A, in exon 7 that results in an amino acid change, p.Gly250Ser. This sequence change is absent in the gnomAD population database. This sequence change does not appear to have been described in individuals with HEXA-related disorders. However, a different sequence change affecting the same amino acid residue (p.Gly250Asp) has been described in a family with juvenile onset Tay Sachs disease (PMID: 1301189). The p.Gly250Ser change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the HEXA protein that is known to be functional. The p.Gly250Ser substitution appears to be deleterious using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Functional studies show p.Gly250Ser disrupts the activity of the HEXA protein (PMIDs: 7717398, 17259242). Collectively this evidence indicates p.Gly250Ser is likely pathogenic.
