| Gene |
HEXA |
| Chromosomal Location |
15q23-q24 |
| Allelic Variant 1 |
606869.0001; TAY-SACHS DISEASE |
| Identified Mutation |
c.1274_1277dupTATC; Myerowitz and Costigan [J Biol Chem 263: 18587 (1988)] demonstrated that the most frequent DNA lesion in Tay-Sachs disease of Ashkenazi Jews is a 4-bp insertion in exon 11. This mutation introduces a premature termination signal in exon 11, resulting in a deficiency of mRNA. This is the most frequent defect underlying Tay-Sachs disease in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. This mutation is alternatively designated 1277TATC; see 272800.0054. |

| Remarks |
Clinically affected; pregnancy complicated by vaginal bleeding at 10 weeks, and by brief episode of false pregnancy at 6 months; uncomplicated full-term birth; hyperbilirubinemia as neonate; history of “behavioral” problems (colic, disinterest in toys, crying, rarely smiling, demanding parents’ attention); examination at 8 months of age revealed bilateral macular pallor with prominence of fovea centralis (cherry red spots), poor visual fixation, abnormal startle response, decreased language, and decreased motor development (decreased tone in upper extremities, increased tone at both ankles with sustained clonus); progressive encephalopathy; developmental milestones include: rolled from front to back at 3 months (did not roll from back to front), sat without support at 6.5 months (unable to get to sitting position by himself), able to hold objects in hands (does not actively reach for objects); deficient hexosaminidase A activity in blood; donor subject is homozygous for a 4 base pair duplication in exon 11 of the HEXA gene, c.1274_1277dupTATC (p.Tyr427Ilefs), resulting in a premature termination signal; see GM11852 B-lymphocyte and GM23937 iPSC. |
