This, in turn, depends on the molecular characteristics and biological impact of the HEXA pathogenic variants. HEX A is necessary for degradation of GM2 ganglioside; without well-functioning enzymes, GM2 ganglioside builds up in the lysosomes of brain and nerve cells. The classic clinical phenotype is known as Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), characterized by progressive weakness, loss of motor skills beginning between ages three and six months, decreased visual attentiveness, and increased or exaggerated startle response with a cherry-red spot observable on the retina followed by developmental plateau and loss of skills after eight to ten months. Seizures are common by 12 months with further deterioration in the second year of life and death occurring between ages two and three years with some survival to five to seven years. Subacute juvenile TSD is associated with normal developmental milestones until age two years, when the emergence of abnormal gait or dysarthria is noted followed by loss of previously acquired skills and cognitive decline. Spasticity, dysphagia, and seizures are present by the end of the first decade of life, with death within the second decade of life, usually by aspiration. Late-onset TSD presents in older teens or young adults with a slowly progressive spectrum of neurologic symptoms including lower-extremity weakness with muscle atrophy, dysarthria, incoordination, tremor, mild spasticity and/or dystonia, and psychiatric manifestations including acute psychosis. Clinical variability even among affected members of the same family is observed in both the subacute juvenile and the late-onset TSD phenotypes." /><meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow,noarchive" />

<div class="portlet_content ln"><div class="excerpt">Excerpted from the <i>GeneReview: </i><a href="/books/NBK1218" target="_blank">HEXA Disorders</a></div><div>HEXA disorders are best considered as a disease continuum based on the amount of residual beta-hexosaminidase A (HEX A) enzyme activity. This, in turn, depends on the molecular characteristics and biological impact of the HEXA pathogenic variants. HEX A is necessary for degradation of GM2 ganglioside; without well-functioning enzymes, GM2 ganglioside builds up in the lysosomes of brain and nerve cells. The classic clinical phenotype is known as Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), characterized by progressive weakness, loss of motor skills beginning between ages three and six months, decreased visual attentiveness, and increased or exaggerated startle response with a cherry-red spot observable on the retina followed by developmental plateau and loss of skills after eight to ten months. Seizures are common by 12 months with further deterioration in the second year of life and death occurring between ages two and three years with some survival to five to seven years. Subacute juvenile TSD is associated with normal developmental milestones until age two years, when the emergence of abnormal gait or dysarthria is noted followed by loss of previously acquired skills and cognitive decline. Spasticity, dysphagia, and seizures are present by the end of the first decade of life, with death within the second decade of life, usually by aspiration. Late-onset TSD presents in older teens or young adults with a slowly progressive spectrum of neurologic symptoms including lower-extremity weakness with muscle atrophy, dysarthria, incoordination, tremor, mild spasticity and/or dystonia, and psychiatric manifestations including acute psychosis. Clinical variability even among affected members of the same family is observed in both the subacute juvenile and the late-onset TSD phenotypes. [from <a title="GeneReviews" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1116" class="defSource" target="_blank">GeneReviews</a>]</div><div class="spaceAbove"><strong>Full text of <i>GeneReview</i> (by section):</strong><br /><a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Summary" target="NBK1218">Summary</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.GeneReview_Scope" target="NBK1218">GeneReview Scope</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Diagnosis" target="NBK1218">Diagnosis</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Clinical_Characteristics" target="NBK1218">Clinical Characteristics</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Genetically_Related_Allelic_Di" target="NBK1218">Genetically Related (Allelic) Disorders</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Differential_Diagnosis" target="NBK1218">Differential Diagnosis</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Management" target="NBK1218">Management</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Genetic_Counseling" target="NBK1218">Genetic Counseling</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Resources" target="NBK1218">Resources</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Molecular_Genetics" target="NBK1218">Molecular Genetics</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.Chapter_Notes" target="NBK1218">Chapter Notes</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1218#tay-sachs.References" target="NBK1218">References</a></div><div class="spaceAbove"><strong>Authors:</strong><br />

<div class="portlet_content ln"><div class="mgSection"><strong>From OMIM</strong><br />Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive, progressive neurodegenerative disorder which, in the classic infantile form, is usually fatal by age 2 or 3 years.  <a target="_blank" href="http://www.omim.org/entry/272800">http://www.omim.org/entry/272800</a></div><div class="mgSection"><strong>From MedlinePlus Genetics</strong><br />Tay-Sachs disease is a rare, inherited disorder that is characterized by neurological problems caused by  the death of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system).<br /><br />The most common form of Tay-Sachs disease, known as infantile Tay-Sachs disease, becomes apparent early in life. Infants with this disorder typically develop normally until they are 3 to 6 months old. During this time, their development slows and muscles used for movement weaken. Affected infants stop achieving normal developmental milestones and begin to lose previously acquired skills such as turning over, sitting, and crawling. Infants with this condition develop an exaggerated startle reaction to loud noises. As the disease progresses, children with Tay-Sachs disease experience involuntary muscle twitches(myoclonic jerks), seizures, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia),vision and hearing loss, and intellectual disability. An eye abnormality called a cherry-red spot, which is identified by eye examination, is characteristic of this disorder. Children with infantile  Tay-Sachs disease usually live only into early childhood.<br /><br />Two other forms of Tay-Sachs disease, known as juvenile and late-onset, are rare. Signs and symptoms of the juvenile form can appear between the ages of 5 years and late adolescence. Features of late-onset Tay-Sachs disease typically appear in adulthood. People with either of these forms of the condition usually have milder and more variable signs and symptoms than those with the infantile form. Characteristic features of juvenile or late-onset Tay-Saches disease include muscle weakness, loss of muscle coordination (ataxia), speech problems, and psychiatric symptoms. These signs and symptoms vary widely among people with late-onset forms of Tay-Sachs disease.  <a target="_blank" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/tay-sachs-disease">https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/tay-sachs-disease</a></div></div>

<div class="spaceAbove">Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist.</div>
