A single ancestral couple from France was found to be common to most of the carriers of the exon 11 insertion.

(2004)</a> identified a conserved haplotype in 1278insTATC chromosomes for 55 unrelated Ashkenazi Jewish individuals (15 homozygotes and 40 heterozygotes for the TSD mutation), suggesting the occurrence of a common founder. When 2 methods were used for analysis of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between flanking polymorphic markers and the disease locus and for study of the decay of LD over time, the estimated age of the insertion was found to be 40 +/- 12 generations (95% confidence interval, 30 to 50 generations), so that the most recent common ancestor of the mutation-bearing chromosomes would date to the 8th or 9th century. This corresponds with the demographic expansion of Ashkenazi Jews in central Europe, following the founding of the Ashkenazi settlement in the early Middle Ages. The results were also consistent with the geographic distribution of the mutation and with the coalescent times of mutations causing 2 other lysosomal storage diseases frequent in Ashkenazi Jews: Gaucher disease (<a href="/entry/230800">230800</a>) and mucolipidosis IV (<a href="/entry/252650">252650</a>). Evidence for the absence of a heterozygote advantage of the mutation was provided by comparison between the estimated age of 1278insTATC and the probability of the current Ashkenazi Jewish frequency of the mutant allele as a function of its age, calculated by use of a branching-process model. Therefore, the founder effect in a rapidly expanding population arising from a bottleneck provides a robust and parsimonious hypothesis explaining the spread of 1278insTATC-related TSD in Ashkenazi Jewish individuals. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=14727180" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

The failure to find the French Canadian deletion among TSD probands in France suggests that the mutation occurred on Canadian soil. If this is true, the search for the ancestral couple was narrowed to 7 possibilities. These included a man born in 1680 and his wife born in 1683, who had 11 offspring, at least 5 of whom must have been heterozygous for the deletion because they had carrier descendants through a total of 14 descendant lines. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=2953646+2220821+3754980+2824459+1577470" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

(RNA from fibroblasts of 4 other patients, 3 Jewish and 1 non-Jewish, did not direct the translation of immunoprecipitable alpha chain. In the same system, RNA from fibroblasts of 2 patients with Sandhoff disease did not direct translation of immunoprecipitable beta chain.) Intact fibroblasts from the atypical patient likewise synthesized the alpha chain as shown by labeling with (3H)leucine; however, strong detergent was required for extraction. The alpha chain could be labeled with (3H)mannose but not with (32P)phosphate; it was neither secreted nor accumulated in the proteolytically processed form, and it disappeared within a day of synthesis. The authors suggested that a plausible but not unique explanation is that the insoluble alpha chain is not transported from the endoplasmic reticulum (the site of glycosylation) to the Golgi apparatus (the site of phosphorylation) nor to the further destinations--lysosomes and the exterior of the cell. <a href="#56" class="mim-tip-reference" title="Nakano, T., Muscillo, M., Ohno, K., Hoffman, A.

Fibroblasts from the patient's parents, who were consanguineous, produced both normal and mutant alpha chains. The mutant alpha chain did not undergo the posttranslational modifications characteristic of its normal counterpart, i.e., synthesis of the mannosephosphate recognition marker, association with the beta-chain to give Hex-A, and proteolytic conversion to the mature form.

The variant was characterized by normal catalytic activity on certain artificial substrates but defective catalytic activity against natural substrates. The so-called DN allele shows a single-base transition at nucleotide 533 from the normal G-to-A within exon 5, resulting in a change from arginine to histidine at amino acid 178. The position of the mutation is about 90 amino acids from the N-terminus of the mature, processed enzyme. Computer analysis predicted substantial alteration in the secondary structure of the enzyme protein.

The only case that was completely negative for the DN mutation was the Czechoslovakian patient. These cell lines were tested for the splicing defect at the 5-prime donor site of intron 12 found among Ashkenazi Jewish patients, with negative results in all. Four of the patients, including the original Puerto Rican patient, gave positive signals for both the normal and the mutant probes. Thus these patients were clearly compound heterozygotes. The patient of Spanish origin (residing in Germany) was positive only for the mutant sequence. The parents of this patient came from the same village in Spain, although there was no clear record of consanguinity. The repeated occurrence of this rare mutation in unrelated populations indicates that the biochemical abnormality that defines B1 can be produced in only a limited number of ways. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=2961848+2973311" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p><p><a href="#24" class="mim-tip-reference" title="Goebel, H.

They identified a G-to-A substitution at the 3-prime end of exon 7, resulting in the substitution of serine for glycine at position 269 of the alpha subunit. One patient with the adult-onset disorder had inherited this gly-to-ser mutation at position 269 from his father and a null allele from his mother.

Most mutations in the alpha-subunit of HEXA that result in Tay-Sachs disease affect the initial folding of the pro-alpha chain in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in its retention and degradation. A much less common occurrence is a mutation that specifically affects an 'active site' residue necessary for substrate binding and/or catalysis. In this case, hexosaminidase A is present in the lysosome, but it lacks all alpha-specific activity. This is the biochemical phenotype of the B1 variant form of TSD. <a href="#30" class="mim-tip-reference" title="Hou, Y., Vavougios, G., Hinek, A., Wu, K. K., Hechtman, P., Kaplan, F., Mahuran, D.

They found that the val192-to-leu substitution produced a pro-alpha chain that did not form alpha-beta dimers and was not transported to the lysosome. Furthermore, they reexamined the hexosaminidase activity and protein levels in the fibroblasts from the original patient. These data were also not consistent with the biochemical phenotype of the B1 variant of Tay-Sachs disease.

(1998)</a> identified a 1422G-C transversion in the first position of exon 13 of HEXA. The mutation was predicted to result in a trp474-to-cys (W474C) amino acid substitution. On the other allele, inherited from the mother, they identified the common infantile disease-causing 4-bp insertion in exon 11 (<a href="#0001">606869.0001</a>). Pulse-chase analysis using proband fibroblasts revealed that the W474C-containing alpha-subunit precursor was normally synthesized, but not phosphorylated or secreted, and the mature lysosomal alpha-subunit was not detected. When the W474C-containing alpha-subunit was transiently coexpressed with the beta-subunit to produce HEXA in COS-7 cells, the mature alpha-subunit was present, but its level was much lower than that from normal alpha-subunit transfections, although higher than in those cells transfected with an alpha-subunit associated with infantile TSD. Furthermore, the precursor level of the W474C alpha-subunit was found to accumulate in comparison to the normal alpha-subunit precursor levels. The patient had presented at the age of 16 with an acute psychotic episode characterized by marked social and emotional withdrawal, paranoia, obsessional thinking, and compulsiveness associated with marked agitation. He had a history of increasing clumsiness, ataxia, and dysarthria dating back to age 10, although only becoming clinically obvious at age 14. He, and subsequently his younger brother, were diagnosed with a subacute encephalopathic form of GM2-gangliosidosis type I. At age 20, chronic psychosis with intermittent acute exacerbations remained the most disabling symptom, as it was in his affected brother, although both exhibited some ataxia and moderately severe dysarthria. The father was of German and Dutch descent and the mother of Portuguese and English descent. There was no family history of neurodegenerative disease. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=9603435" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

<p>The HEXA gene encodes the alpha subunit of hexosaminidase A (EC 3.2.1.52), a lysosomal enzyme involved in the breakdown of gangliosides. There are 2 isoenzymes of hexosaminidase: Hex-A and Hex-B (HEXB; 606873). Beutler et al. (1975) concluded that Hex-A has the structure alpha-beta, while Hex-B has the structure beta-beta. </p>

<p>Myerowitz et al. (1985) cloned the alpha chain of Hex-A from an adult human liver library and found an open reading frame corresponding to 529 amino acids, with a molecular weight of approximately 60 kD. The first 17 to 22 amino acids satisfied the requirements of a signal sequence. They noted striking sequence homology with the amino acid sequence for the beta chain, and suggested that both chains evolved from a common ancestor. Korneluk et al. (1986) found 57% amino acid homology between Hex-A and Hex-B. </p>

<p>Proia and Soravia (1987) studied the structure of the HEXA gene by restriction endonuclease mapping, Southern blotting, and DNA sequencing. The alpha-chain gene is about 35 kb long and contains 14 exons.

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>By study of somatic cell hybrids, Lalley et al. (1974) suggested that a locus determining hexosaminidase A is on chromosome 7. Subsequently, Van Heyningen et al. (1975) found that the MPI (154550) and PK3 (179050) loci are on chromosome 15, and Gilbert et al. (1975) concluded that MPI, PK3 and HEXA are syntenic. </p><p>Chern et al. (1976) studied heteropolymeric hexosaminidase A formed by human-mouse hybrid cells that contained an X;15 translocation chromosome but lacked human chromosome 5. Tests with specific antisera suggested that the hybrid molecule had human alpha units and mouse beta units. The findings are consistent with hexosaminidase A being composed of alpha and beta subunits coded by genes on chromosomes 15 and 5, respectively. </p><p>Chern et al. (1977) mapped the HEXA gene to chromosome 15q22-qter by somatic cell hybrid analysis. </p><p>Formiga et al. (1988) reported 2 cases of interstitial deletion of chromosome 15. Assay of hexosaminidase A in 1 case enabled them to confirm that the structural gene is located between 15q22 and 15q25 and is included in the deletion. By high resolution in situ hybridization, Takeda et al. (1990) narrowed the assignment to 15q23-q24. Using a cDNA clone for in situ hybridization, Nakai et al. (1991) assigned the HEXA gene to 15q23-q24. </p><p>Seldin et al. (1991) demonstrated that the HEXA homolog in the mouse is located on chromosome 9. </p>

<strong>Gene Function</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Pennybacker et al. (1996) identified domains in human hexosaminidase that confer distinctive substrate specificity to Hex-A (alpha-beta), Hex-B (beta-beta), and Hex-S (alpha-alpha) isozymes. The active site on the beta subunit primarily degrades neutral substrates, whereas the alpha-subunit site is active against sulfated substrates. Only Hex-A, together with the GM2 activator protein, can degrade GM2 ganglioside. Pennybacker et al. (1996) generated chimeric hexosaminidase subunits by interchanging analogous regions of the alpha and beta subunits. Chimeric constructs were expressed in HeLa cells and selected constructs were produced in the baculovirus expression system to determine their ability to degrade GM2 ganglioside in the presence of GM2 activator protein. Their results allowed them to define 2 noncontiguous sequences in the alpha subunit (amino acids 1-191 and 403-529) which, when substituted into analogous positions in the beta subunit, conferred activity against the sulfated substrate. Pennybacker et al. (1996) also found that amino acids 225-556 in the beta subunit are required for activator-dependent GM2 ganglioside degradation by HexA. </p>

<p><strong><em>Crystal Structure</em></strong></p><p>
Lemieux et al. (2006) reported that the 2.8-angstrom resolution x-ray crystallographic structure of Hex-A revealed an alpha/beta heterodimer, with each subunit having a functional active site. Only the alpha subunit active site can hydrolyze GM2 gangliosides due to a flexible loop structure that is removed posttranslationally from the beta subunit. The beta subunit lacks certain key residues and therefore cleaves only neutral substrates efficiently. The alpha subunit contains 2 domains. Domain I is an N-terminal domain with 2 parallel alpha-helices sandwiched between a 6-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet. Domain II is a C-terminal domain comprising a beta-alpha (8)-barrel structure with an active site pocket. </p>

<strong>Molecular Genetics</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Beutler et al. (1975) concluded that Tay-Sachs disease (272800) is caused by mutation in the alpha subunit of hexosaminidase, causing a dysfunctional Hex-A enzyme, whereas Sandhoff disease (268800) is caused by mutation in the beta subunit (HEXB; 606873), causing dysfunctional Hex-A and Hex-B enzymes. </p><p>Myerowitz (1997) stated that 78 mutations in the HEXA gene had been described, including 65 single-base substitutions, 1 large and 10 small deletions, and 2 small insertions. Of the single-base substitutions, 45 caused missense mutations; 39 of these were disease-causing, 3 were benign but caused a change in phenotype, and 3 were neutral polymorphisms. Six nonsense mutations and 14 splice site lesions resulted from single-base substitutions; all but 1 of the splice site lesions caused a severe form of Tay-Sachs disease. Eight frameshift mutations arose from 6 deletion- and 2 insertion-type lesions. One of the insertions, consisting of 4 bp within exon 11 (606869.0001), is found in 80% of the carriers of Tay-Sachs disease from the Ashkenazi Jewish population. A very large deletion of 7.5 kb, including all of exon 1 and portions of DNA upstream and downstream from that exon (606869.0003), is the major mutation found in Tay-Sachs disease carriers from the French Canadian population. Most of the other mutations are confined to single pedigrees. </p><p>McGinniss et al. (2002) identified 8 novel mutations in the HEXA gene, as well as 31 previously described mutations in 49 subjects (47 enzymatically defined carriers and 2 disease afflicted) who were negative for the 4 common disease-associated and the 2 pseudodeficient mutations. Six novel mutations were found in non-Jewish carriers, and 2 were found in 2 patients with infantile Tay-Sachs disease. </p><p><strong><em>B1 Variant</em></strong></p><p>
Tanaka et al. (1990) studied 7 patients with the enzymologic characteristics of the B1 variant of Tay-Sachs disease. The variant was characterized by normal catalytic activity on certain artificial substrates, but defective catalytic activity against natural substrates, including GM2 gangliosides. All of the patients, except 1 from Czechoslovakia, carried the same arg178-to-his mutation referred to as DN (see 606869.0006). The Czechoslovakian patient had a mutation in the same codon: a change of nucleotide 532 from C to T resulting in an arg178-to-cys change in the protein (see 606869.0007). Site-directed mutagenesis and expression studies in COS-1 cells demonstrated that either of the point mutations abolished catalytic activity of the alpha subunit. The HEXA gene has 1 intron that is exceptionally large. </p><p>By homozygosity mapping followed by exon enrichment and next-generation sequencing in 136 consanguineous families (over 90% Iranian and less than 10% Turkish or Arab) segregating syndromic or nonsyndromic forms of autosomal recessive intellectual disability, Najmabadi et al. (2011) identified a missense mutation in the HEXA gene (606869.0058) in a family (M165) in which the first-cousin parents had 5 healthy children and 3 children with moderate intellectual disability and seizures. </p>

<strong>Genotype/Phenotype Correlations</strong>

</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Ohno et al. (2008) performed structural analysis of 33 missense mutations in the HEXA gene, including 24 associated with infantile onset and 9 associated with later onset. The authors used structural modeling of the mutant alpha subunits by calculating the number of atoms affected and determining the solvent-accessible surface area of the corresponding residue in the wildtype enzyme. Nineteen (79%) of the 24 mutations associated with the infantile form of the disease influenced 40 atoms or more (see, e.g., E482K; 606869.0004). Four (80%) of the other 5 infantile cases involving less than 39 atoms affected 1 or more atoms in a functionally important region, such as the active site pocket and/or dimer interface. In contrast, 7 (78%) of 9 late-onset cases influenced less than 39 atoms, and 5 (56%) did not influence any atoms in the functionally important region (see, e.g., G269S; 606869.0008). These results suggested that structural changes responsible for infantile TSD are generally large and/or located in the functionally important region, whereas those responsible for late-onset TSD are generally small. The findings showed that the structural changes significantly correlated with severity of the phenotype. </p>

Hex-A is assumed to have the structure alpha-2-beta-2. </p>

<p>Myerowitz and Costigan (1988) demonstrated that the most frequent DNA lesion in Tay-Sachs disease (272800) of Ashkenazi Jews is a homozygous 4-bp insertion in exon 11. This mutation introduces a premature termination signal in exon 11, resulting in a deficiency of mRNA. Using a dot-blot assay to screen patients and heterozygous carriers for the insertion mutation, Myerowitz and Costigan (1988) found the lesion in about 70% of carriers tested, thus identifying it as the most frequent defect underlying Tay-Sachs disease in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. Triggs-Raine and Gravel (1990) showed that this insertion mutation of only 4 bp can be detected by the formation of heteroduplexes. This mutation causes a frameshift and a termination codon 9 nucleotides downstream. By site-directed mutagenesis, Nishimoto et al. (1991) examined the basis of the paradox that the mutant gene with the 4-base insertion in exon 11 is transcribed normally but the mRNA is essentially undetectable. They found no evidence of interference with normal splicing of the transcript and the mutation did not destabilize properly spliced mRNA. Thus, the studies left open the question of the mechanism of the mutation. The possibility was mentioned that another still unidentified abnormality in the same allele may be responsible for the nearly complete absence of mRNA. </p><p>There appears to be an increased frequency of TSD in the Cajun population of southwest Louisiana which numbers less than one million persons. McDowell et al. (1992) reported that in the previous 3 decades, at least 8 infants from 6 apparently unrelated Cajun families had been identified. They found that the mutation in 11 of 12 of the TSD alleles in these 6 families was the exon 11 insertion present in approximately 70% of Ashkenazi Jewish TSD heterozygotes. The remaining allele was a single-base transition in the donor splice site of intron 9 (606869.0033). To trace the origins of these 2 mutations in the Cajun population, the TSD carrier status was determined enzymatically in 90 members of 4 of the 6 families, and extensive pedigrees were constructed for all carriers. A single ancestral couple from France was found to be common to most of the carriers of the exon 11 insertion. Pedigree data suggested that this mutation has been in the Cajun population since its founding and that it may be widely distributed within the population. In contrast, the intron 9 mutation was apparently introduced later and is probably limited to a few Louisiana families. Zlotogora (1993) argued that 2 mutations would not be unexpected in the Cajun population. Thurmon (1993) gave a historical account of the 'Jews of Acadiana.' He indicated that the Jews were assimilated into the Acadian culture and suggested that this was the source of the Tay-Sachs genes. He also pointed out that about the same time Jewish merchants began to arrive in Acadiana, the French Revolution produced an influx of non-Acadian French immigrants. Many were of aristocratic lineage and held themselves aloof from the Acadians. </p><p>This mutation is alternatively designated 1277TATC or 1278insTATC. See 606869.0054.</p><p>To investigate the genetic history of the 1278insTATC mutation, the most frequent cause of Tay-Sachs disease in Ashkenazi Jews, Frisch et al. (2004) identified a conserved haplotype in 1278insTATC chromosomes for 55 unrelated Ashkenazi Jewish individuals (15 homozygotes and 40 heterozygotes for the TSD mutation), suggesting the occurrence of a common founder. When 2 methods were used for analysis of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between flanking polymorphic markers and the disease locus and for study of the decay of LD over time, the estimated age of the insertion was found to be 40 +/- 12 generations (95% confidence interval, 30 to 50 generations), so that the most recent common ancestor of the mutation-bearing chromosomes would date to the 8th or 9th century. This corresponds with the demographic expansion of Ashkenazi Jews in central Europe, following the founding of the Ashkenazi settlement in the early Middle Ages. The results were also consistent with the geographic distribution of the mutation and with the coalescent times of mutations causing 2 other lysosomal storage diseases frequent in Ashkenazi Jews: Gaucher disease (230800) and mucolipidosis IV (252650). Evidence for the absence of a heterozygote advantage of the mutation was provided by comparison between the estimated age of 1278insTATC and the probability of the current Ashkenazi Jewish frequency of the mutant allele as a function of its age, calculated by use of a branching-process model. Therefore, the founder effect in a rapidly expanding population arising from a bottleneck provides a robust and parsimonious hypothesis explaining the spread of 1278insTATC-related TSD in Ashkenazi Jewish individuals. </p>

<p>Arpaia et al. (1988) identified a single-base mutation in a cloned fragment of the HEXA gene from an Ashkenazi Jewish patient with Tay-Sachs disease (272800). The change, a G-to-C substitution in the first nucleotide of intron 12, was expected to result in defective splicing of the mRNA. A test for the mutant allele based on amplification of DNA by the PCR and cleavage of a DdeI restriction site generated by the mutation showed that this case and 2 other cases of the Ashkenazi, infantile form of Tay-Sachs disease are heterozygous for 2 different mutations. The mutation was found in over 20% of the Tay-Sachs alleles that they examined in Ashkenazi Jewish patients and carriers but in none of 43 normal Jewish persons. Arpaia et al. (1988) suggested that the occurrence of multiple mutant alleles in Ashkenazim warrants further examination of the selective advantage hypothesis; the hypothesis of founder effect suggests the existence of a single mutant allele. In a case of classic infantile Tay-Sachs disease in an Ashkenazi Jewish patient, Ohno and Suzuki (1988) found that there were 2 types of Hex-A mRNA: intact mRNA and mRNA with truncated intron 12 sequences. Sequence analysis showed a single G-to-C nucleotide transversion at the 5-prime donor site of intron 12, the same change as that in the patient of Arpaia et al. (1988). Both patients were compound heterozygotes. Myerowitz (1988) likewise found in each of 2 unrelated Ashkenazi patients that 1 alpha-chain allele harbored the splice junction mutation. Only 1 parent of each of these patients was positive for the defect. Thirty percent of obligate heterozygotes tested carried the splice junction mutation, whereas 20 Ashkenazi Jews designated noncarriers by enzymatic assay were negative for this alteration. In an Ashkenazi Jewish child with Tay-Sachs disease and a splicing defect at the 5-prime donor site of intron 12, present in heterozygous state, Ohno and Suzuki (1988) found a variety of abnormal mRNAs. </p><p>This mutation, the second most frequent among Ashkenazi Jews, accounted for approximately 13% of cases in this ethnic group. Strasberg et al. (1997) reported the first incidence of homozygosity for the intron 12 mutation in a female infant with classic TSD. The child first presented at the age of 13.5 months with seizures associated with fever and pneumococcal bacteremia. Developmental delay had been recognized from early in life with no history of regression or exaggerated startle reflex. At 13 months, she showed central hypotonia and peripheral hypertonia with exaggerated deep tendon reflexes and bilateral ankle clonus. Funduscopy revealed bilateral cherry red spots of the macula. </p>

<p>On the basis of study of 2 Ashkenazi patients and 2 French Canadian patients with a Hex-A cDNA probe, Myerowitz and Hogikyan (1986) concluded that each of these populations has a different mutation. In the Ashkenazi mutation the HEXA gene appeared to be intact, whereas in the French Canadian mutation the gene had a 5-prime deletion of 5 to 8 kilobases. The disorders are clinically identical and the heterozygote frequency in each is the same. It had previously been suspected that the Ashkenazi gene was introduced into the French Canadian population by someone, presumably male, of Ashkenazi extraction (the 'Jewish fur trader hypothesis'). Keats et al. (1987) suspected that the mutation in French Canadians may be different from that in Ashkenazi Jews because the ratio HEXA/(HEXA + HEXB) was not a satisfactory statistic for carrier status in the French Canadian population whereas it is in Ashkenazi Jews. Myerowitz and Hogikyan (1987) showed that the deletion in the French Canadian form of Tay-Sachs disease (272800) is 7.6 kb long, includes part of intron 1 and all of exon 1, and extends 2,000 bp upstream past the putative promoter region of the alpha-chain gene. Sequence analysis of the deletion junction in the mutant gene and corresponding regions of the normal gene demonstrated the presence of similarly oriented Alu sequences at the 5-prime and 3-prime deletion boundaries. Myerowitz and Hogikyan (1987) interpreted this as indicating that the deletion had arisen during homologous recombination and unequal crossing-over between Alu sequences. Hechtman et al. (1990) found the 7.6-kb deletion mutation at the 5-prime end of the HEXA gene in 18 of 22 independently segregating mutant chromosomes from patients of French Canadian origin. One chromosome carried the 4-nucleotide insertion in exon 11 (606869.0001). None of the chromosomes carried the 5-prime splice site mutation in intron 12 found in Ashkenazi Jews (606869.0002). One chromosome carried a 'novel,' but not yet characterized type of B1 mutation. The remaining 3 patients carried TSD alleles different from all of the above-mentioned ones. In French Canadians, the 5-prime deletion clustered in persons originating in southeastern Quebec (Gaspe) and adjacent counties of northern New Brunswick. De Braekeleer et al. (1992) traced the ancestry of the persons carrying the 'French Canadian deletion' to an average depth of 12 generations, identifying 60 ancestors and 80 European founders common to all of them. The ancestral origins of the European founders showed a significantly greater number of individuals born in the French provinces of Normandy and Perche than expected based on information regarding the origins of the 8,500 immigrants who settled New France during the French regime. The failure to find the French Canadian deletion among TSD probands in France suggests that the mutation occurred on Canadian soil. If this is true, the search for the ancestral couple was narrowed to 7 possibilities. These included a man born in 1680 and his wife born in 1683, who had 11 offspring, at least 5 of whom must have been heterozygous for the deletion because they had carrier descendants through a total of 14 descendant lines. </p>

<p>In a non-Jewish case of Tay-Sachs disease (272800), Proia and Neufeld (1982) found a normal amount of alpha chain of beta-hexosaminidase synthesized in a cell-free translation system using RNA from cultured fibroblasts of the patient. (RNA from fibroblasts of 4 other patients, 3 Jewish and 1 non-Jewish, did not direct the translation of immunoprecipitable alpha chain. In the same system, RNA from fibroblasts of 2 patients with Sandhoff disease did not direct translation of immunoprecipitable beta chain.) Intact fibroblasts from the atypical patient likewise synthesized the alpha chain as shown by labeling with (3H)leucine; however, strong detergent was required for extraction. The alpha chain could be labeled with (3H)mannose but not with (32P)phosphate; it was neither secreted nor accumulated in the proteolytically processed form, and it disappeared within a day of synthesis. The authors suggested that a plausible but not unique explanation is that the insoluble alpha chain is not transported from the endoplasmic reticulum (the site of glycosylation) to the Golgi apparatus (the site of phosphorylation) nor to the further destinations--lysosomes and the exterior of the cell. Nakano et al. (1988) isolated cDNA clones from cultured fibroblasts of this patient, who was Italian. Sequence analysis showed a single nucleotide substitution, from G to A, at nucleotide 1444, which resulted in a change from glutamic acid to lysine at amino acid 482. The change from the strongly negative to strongly positive charge at amino acid 482 was thought to be responsible for the defective processing of the enzyme in this patient. Akalin et al. (1992) demonstrated the same mutation in a case of classic TSD in a Chinese patient. </p><p>Using structural modeling, Ohno et al. (2008) found that the glu482 residue is buried within the folded enzyme and the E482K mutation affects atoms throughout the whole enzyme, which correlated with a more severe phenotype. </p>

<p>In an Italian patient with clinically classic Tay-Sachs disease (272800), Zokaeem et al. (1987) described a defect in the alpha chain that differed from all those previously described. Fibroblasts synthesized a precursor alpha chain that was smaller than its normal counterpart. Fibroblasts from the patient's parents, who were consanguineous, produced both normal and mutant alpha chains. The mutant alpha chain did not undergo the posttranslational modifications characteristic of its normal counterpart, i.e., synthesis of the mannosephosphate recognition marker, association with the beta-chain to give Hex-A, and proteolytic conversion to the mature form. Furthermore, the mutant alpha chain was not secreted. Lau and Neufeld (1989) identified the mutation as a deletion of cytosine at position 1510 of the coding sequence. The frameshift mutation, which was found to be present on both alleles, caused premature termination 4 codons downstream, and the loss of a very hydrophilic stretch of 22 amino acids. Expression of alpha-subunit cDNA with the cytosine deletion in COS-1 cells reproduced the phenotype of the Italian patient referred to as WG1051, i.e., a truncated alpha subunit was retained. </p>

<p>Ohno and Suzuki (1988) defined the mutation in the B1 variant form of Tay-Sachs disease (272800) in a patient of Puerto Rican extraction residing in New York City. The variant was characterized by normal catalytic activity on certain artificial substrates but defective catalytic activity against natural substrates. The so-called DN allele shows a single-base transition at nucleotide 533 from the normal G-to-A within exon 5, resulting in a change from arginine to histidine at amino acid 178. The position of the mutation is about 90 amino acids from the N-terminus of the mature, processed enzyme. Computer analysis predicted substantial alteration in the secondary structure of the enzyme protein. Using two 21-mer oligonucleotide probes with the normal and mutant sequences, Tanaka et al. (1988) found that 4 of 5 other patients of various ethnic origin (Spanish, Italian, Czechoslovakian, French, and English/Italian/Hungarian) showed the same defect. The only case that was completely negative for the DN mutation was the Czechoslovakian patient. These cell lines were tested for the splicing defect at the 5-prime donor site of intron 12 found among Ashkenazi Jewish patients, with negative results in all. Four of the patients, including the original Puerto Rican patient, gave positive signals for both the normal and the mutant probes. Thus these patients were clearly compound heterozygotes. The patient of Spanish origin (residing in Germany) was positive only for the mutant sequence. The parents of this patient came from the same village in Spain, although there was no clear record of consanguinity. The repeated occurrence of this rare mutation in unrelated populations indicates that the biochemical abnormality that defines B1 can be produced in only a limited number of ways. </p><p>Goebel et al. (1989) described the B1 variant in a 12-year-old girl who suffered from a progressive nerve degenerative disorder marked by ataxia, extrapyramidal symptoms, and convulsions. </p><p>According to the findings of dos Santos et al. (1991), the B1 variant occurs at an exceptionally high frequency in the northern part of Portugal. In most of the patients there, the disease manifests itself as a juvenile form. In 10 of 11 such patients, dos Santos et al. (1991) found homozygosity for the DN allele; in the other patient, whose clinical profile more closely resembled the late infantile phenotype, compound heterozygosity for the DN allele and another, as yet unidentified abnormal allele was found. Whitley et al. (1992) detected the arg178-to-his mutation by PCR amplification and direct DNA sequencing of exon 5 of the HEXA gene. </p>

<p>In 8 Ashkenazi adult GM2-gangliosidosis (272800) patients from 5 different families, Navon and Proia (1989) found a gly269-to-ser (G269S) substitution. This amino acid substitution was shown to depress drastically the catalytic activity of the alpha chain after expression in COS-1 cells. All the patients proved to be compound heterozygotes of the allele with the gly-to-ser change and 1 of the 2 Ashkenazi infantile Tay-Sachs alleles. Paw et al. (1989) described the molecular basis of adult onset and chronic GM2 gangliosidoses in Ashkenazi Jewish patients known to have a defective association between the alpha and beta subunits of hexosaminidase. They identified a G-to-A substitution at the 3-prime end of exon 7, resulting in the substitution of serine for glycine at position 269 of the alpha subunit. One patient with the adult-onset disorder had inherited this gly-to-ser mutation at position 269 from his father and a null allele from his mother. The same combination of alleles was found in fetal fibroblasts from an association-defective phenotype and in cells from 5 patients with chronic Gm2-gangliosidoses. Navon et al. (1990) found the same gly269-to-ser mutation in 6 adult GM2-gangliosidosis patients from 4 different non-Jewish families. Three of these patients, 2 of whom were brothers, showed a hybridization pattern consistent with homozygosity for the mutation. The others were compound heterozygotes of the gly269-to-ser mutation together with an unidentified alpha-subunit mutation. Navon et al. (1990) suggested that the gly269-to-ser mutation in the Ashkenazi and non-Jewish patients might have had a common origin since the ancestry of the Ashkenazim could be traced to eastern Europe. Kappler et al. (1990) suggested caution in concluding that homozygosity for the gly269-to-ser allele as reported by Navon et al. (1990) is responsible for adult GM2-gangliosidosis. They suggested that it might be a pseudodeficiency with coincidental association with neurologic disease. Proia et al. (1990) provided information suggesting that the mutation is indeed causative. </p><p>Because hexosaminidase A is heterodimeric, analysis of alpha-chain mutations is not straightforward. Brown and Mahuran (1993) used the techniques of in vitro mutagenesis and transient expression in COS cells to demonstrate that the G269S mutation does not directly affect alpha-dimerization but exerts an indirect effect on the dimer through destabilizing the folded alpha subunit at physiologic temperatures. Two other alpha mutations associated with more severe phenotypes, gly250-to-asp (606869.0013) and glu482-to-lys (606869.0004), appeared to inhibit the initial folding of the subunit. </p><p>Using structural modeling, Ohno et al. (2008) demonstrated that the gly269 residue is located on the surface of the folded enzyme protein and the G269S mutation only influences a small number of atoms, which correlated with a less severe phenotype and residual enzyme activity. </p>

<p>In a patient with juvenile-onset GM2-gangliosidosis (272800), of Assyrian origin and with first-cousin parents, Paw et al. (1990) identified a G-to-A transition at nucleotide 1511 resulting in substitution of histidine for arginine at position 504 in the HEXA molecule. Cultured fibroblasts from the patient synthesized an alpha subunit that could acquire mannose 6-phosphate and be secreted, but which failed to associate with the beta-subunit to form the enzymatically active heterodimer. The patient had progressive ataxia, spastic paraplegia, dysarthria, and cherry-red macula at the time she was first seen at age 10 years. The patient was homozygous for the arg504-to-his mutation, which occurred in a CpG dinucleotide. The same mutation was found in a patient with juvenile-onset GM2-gangliosidosis of Armenian extraction. The mutation again was present in homozygous state, consistent with the fact that his parents were first cousins. The same mutation was found by Boustany et al. (1991) in heterozygous state in a Lebanese patient with the juvenile form of Tay-Sachs disease. The clinical features were progressive spasticity, ataxia, and cognitive decline.

<p>A female patient in a family of German origin had slow but progressive spinocerebellar degeneration from the age of 2.5 years (Raghavan et al., 1985). At the age of 26 years, she was in leg braces and had great difficulty rising from a sitting position. Her 25-year-old sister was only mildly affected; she had been clinically normal into her late teens but later developed signs of cerebellar dysfunction. Paw et al. (1991) found a substitution of cysteine for arginine at codon 504. The family was unique in another respect, namely, that the normal allele of the mother and of an arg504-to-cys heterozygous sib had a silent mutation, a G-to-A transition in the wobble position of the glutamic acid codon at position 506. A search for this mutation was prompted by the fact that 2 other mutations had been identified in this codon: a G-to-A transition resulting in an arg504-to-his substitution (606869.0009) in a patient with juvenile GM2-gangliosidosis (272800) and a C deletion resulting in a premature termination of the alpha subunit (606869.0005) in a patient with Tay-Sachs disease. Using chemical mismatch cleavage of PCR-amplified cDNA fragments, Akli et al. (1991) demonstrated the same arg504-to-cys missense mutation in exon 13 in 2 patients. Change from CGC to TGC was responsible. One patient was a homozygote from Algeria; the other was a compound heterozygote from France (the other allele was an intron 2 splice mutation (606869.0026).) Both patients had the classic infantile form of Tay-Sachs disease. It is unclear why the phenotype of the patients with this mutation was so different. </p>

<p>Using chemical mismatch cleavage of PCR-amplified cDNA fragments, Akli et al. (1991) detected a splice donor site mutation, a G-to-A change in the first nucleotide of IVS2, in a French patient with classic Tay-Sachs disease (272800). The other allele carried the arg504-to-cys mutation (606869.0015). Mules et al. (1992) found this mutation in compound heterozygous state in a non-Jewish, Pennsylvania Dutch kindred in which Kelly et al. (1975) described a high frequency of TSD heterozygotes. The increased carrier frequency was noted following the birth of at least 2 (more by history) children with TSD. Subsequent screening of the extended family uncovered 98 of 333 persons tested who were apparent carriers of TSD. Evidence that the increased carrier frequency in this group might be due to more than one HEXA mutation was provided by the discovery of a healthy 37-year-old woman whose serum hexosaminidase A level was indistinguishable from that found in classic TSD patients. Further studies led Kelly et al. (1976) to conclude that she was a compound heterozygote for a TSD allele and a 'pseudodeficient' allele. Thomas et al. (1982) provided support for this interpretation; they demonstrated that while she lacked hexosaminidase A activity against the artificial substrate, her enzyme activity to cleave the natural substrate was similar to that of TSD heterozygotes. The pseudodeficiency allele carried an arg247-to-trp mutation (606869.0035) as described by Triggs-Raine et al. (1992) in 2 members of the Pennsylvania Dutch community and in other unrelated persons. </p>

<p>Akli et al. (1991) described a G-to-A transition of the obligatory GT sequence of the intron 9 donor splice site of the HEXA gene in a case of classic Tay-Sachs disease (272800). In a case of infantile Tay-Sachs disease in a Louisiana Cajun family, McDowell et al. (1992) found compound heterozygosity for the exon 11 insertion (606869.0001) and for a G-to-A transition at position +1 of intron 9 changing the invariant GT of the donor splice site to AT. Akerman et al. (1992) found a relatively high frequency of the IVS9 donor splice site mutation in non-Jewish Caucasians. The mutation was not identified among 12 black American TSD alleles or in any of 18 Ashkenazi Jewish, enzyme-defined carriers. This allele and the HEXA pseudodeficiency allele (606869.0035) described by Triggs-Raine et al. (1992) account for almost 50% (29/64) of TSD or carrier alleles ascertained by enzyme screening in non-Jewish Caucasians. Of 24 unrelated mutant chromosomes from 20 non-Jewish subjects (15 TSD carriers, 4 TSD patients, and 1 TSD fetus) in the British Isles, 5 had mutations common in the Ashkenazi Jewish community (606869.0001 and 606869.0002) and 10 had the intron 9 splice site mutation (Landels et al., 1992). This was an unexpected finding considering the diverse origin of the population of the British Isles. By cDNA-PCR amplification, Akli et al. (1993) found a 17-bp insertion due to the same mutation in 2 French patients with the infantile form of Tay-Sachs disease. One was a homozygote and one a compound heterozygote with a 4-bp insertion in exon 11 in the second allele. The G-to-A transition in the donor site resulted in activation of a cryptic donor site in the intron. Akli et al. (1993) found the mutation in 9 of 82 Tay-Sachs chromosomes. In the British Isles, the IVS9DS mutation was found more frequently in subjects of Irish, Scottish, and Welsh origin than in those of English origin (63% and 31%, respectively). In a blind study, Landels et al. (1993) tested 26 American TSD carriers and 28 noncarriers who had British ancestry for the IVS9DS mutation. Six of the carriers and none of the controls were positive for the mutation. All 6 had Irish ancestry compared with 9 of the 20 other IVS9DS-negative TSD carriers. These results confirmed the previously found high frequency of this specific mutation in non-Jewish TSD families of British Isles, particularly Irish, origin, and reinforced the need to screen such families for this mutation. </p>

This allele accounted for 32% (20/62) of non-Jewish enzyme-defined Tay-Sachs disease carriers but for none of 36 Jewish enzyme-defined carriers who did not have one of the 3 known mutations common to the Jewish group. In combination with a 'true' Tay-Sachs disease allele, the arg247-to-trp allele causes HEXA pseudodeficiency. Given both the large proportion of non-Jewish carriers with this allele and the fact that standard biochemical screening cannot differentiate between heterozygotes for the arg247-to-trp mutation and Tay-Sachs disease carriers, DNA testing for this mutation in at-risk couples is essential. Contrary to the findings of Triggs-Raine et al. (1992) of no cases of the C739-to-T pseudodeficiency allele among Jewish carriers, Tomczak et al. (1993) found that of 33 carriers who had none of the 3 common mutations, the pseudodeficiency mutation was present in 6 of 19 Jews and 8 of 14 non-Jews. Tomczak et al. (1993) suggested that DNA analysis should be part of a comprehensive screening program because 2 mutant alleles, the pseudodeficiency allele and the adult allele, are indistinguishable from the lethal infantile mutations by means of enzyme assay yet have very different phenotypic significance and together may account for as many as 12% of enzyme-defined carriers. </p>

<p>In a patient with the B1 variant form of Tay-Sachs disease (272800) described by Gordon et al. (1988), Ainsworth and Coulter-Mackie (1992) found a double mutation in exon 6 of HEXA: a G-to-C transversion of nucleotide 574 causing a val192-to-leu substitution, and a G-to-A transition at nucleotide 598 resulting in a val200-to-met substitution. Transient expression studies of the 2 exon-6 mutations (singly or together) in COS-1 cells showed that the val192-to-leu change was sufficient to cause the loss of enzyme activity. Furthermore, the biochemical phenotype of this alteration in transfection studies was consistent with that expected for a B1 variant mutation. Coulter-Mackie (1994) reported that the paternally derived allele carried the IVS9DS mutation described in 606869.0033. Subsequently, Hou et al. (1996) demonstrated that the val192-to-leu mutation in the alpha subunit of HEXA is not associated with the B1 variant form of Tay-Sachs disease. Most mutations in the alpha-subunit of HEXA that result in Tay-Sachs disease affect the initial folding of the pro-alpha chain in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in its retention and degradation. A much less common occurrence is a mutation that specifically affects an 'active site' residue necessary for substrate binding and/or catalysis. In this case, hexosaminidase A is present in the lysosome, but it lacks all alpha-specific activity. This is the biochemical phenotype of the B1 variant form of TSD. Hou et al. (1996) examined permanently cotransfected Chinese hamster ovary cells with an alpha-cDNA-construct including the val192-to-leu substitution and a mutant beta-cDNA, beta-arg211 to lys, encoding a beta subunit that is inactive but normal in all other respects. They found that the val192-to-leu substitution produced a pro-alpha chain that did not form alpha-beta dimers and was not transported to the lysosome. Furthermore, they reexamined the hexosaminidase activity and protein levels in the fibroblasts from the original patient. These data were also not consistent with the biochemical phenotype of the B1 variant of Tay-Sachs disease. Thus, they concluded that the val192-to-leu substitution does not specifically affect the alpha-active site. </p>

In a non-Jewish Italian child, Akli et al. (1993) used mismatch analysis to identify compound heterozygosity for the arg170-to-trp mutation of 1 HEXA allele and a gly454-to-ser mutation (606869.0048) of the other allele. </p>

<p>In a non-Jewish proband who manifested a subacute variant of GM2-gangliosidosis (272800), Petroulakis et al. (1998) identified a 1422G-C transversion in the first position of exon 13 of HEXA. The mutation was predicted to result in a trp474-to-cys (W474C) amino acid substitution. On the other allele, inherited from the mother, they identified the common infantile disease-causing 4-bp insertion in exon 11 (606869.0001). Pulse-chase analysis using proband fibroblasts revealed that the W474C-containing alpha-subunit precursor was normally synthesized, but not phosphorylated or secreted, and the mature lysosomal alpha-subunit was not detected. When the W474C-containing alpha-subunit was transiently coexpressed with the beta-subunit to produce HEXA in COS-7 cells, the mature alpha-subunit was present, but its level was much lower than that from normal alpha-subunit transfections, although higher than in those cells transfected with an alpha-subunit associated with infantile TSD. Furthermore, the precursor level of the W474C alpha-subunit was found to accumulate in comparison to the normal alpha-subunit precursor levels. The patient had presented at the age of 16 with an acute psychotic episode characterized by marked social and emotional withdrawal, paranoia, obsessional thinking, and compulsiveness associated with marked agitation. He had a history of increasing clumsiness, ataxia, and dysarthria dating back to age 10, although only becoming clinically obvious at age 14. He, and subsequently his younger brother, were diagnosed with a subacute encephalopathic form of GM2-gangliosidosis type I. At age 20, chronic psychosis with intermittent acute exacerbations remained the most disabling symptom, as it was in his affected brother, although both exhibited some ataxia and moderately severe dysarthria. The father was of German and Dutch descent and the mother of Portuguese and English descent. There was no family history of neurodegenerative disease. </p>

<p>In the course of study of HEXA activity in Iraqi Jews to determine carriers of Tay-Sachs disease (272800), Karpati et al. (2004) identified a 1351C-G transversion in exon 12 of the HEXA gene, resulting in a leu451-to-val (L451V) change. The mutation was found in 21 of 62 carriers (33.9%) and in none of 100 noncarrier Iraqi Jews. Karpati et al. (2004) estimated that the 1351C-G transversion occurred sometime between 1519 BC and 635 AD, with 442 BC as the best estimate with wide confidence limits. The Iraqi Jewish community started around 586 BC when the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar deported 10,000 to 40,000 of the Jews from the kingdom of Judea to Babylon. This was probably the time of separation of the Iraqi Jews from the rest of the Jewish people. </p>

<p>In a child with severe subacute GM2-gangliosidosis (272800) who presented at age 22 months with classic cherry-red spots of the fundus but did not develop any neurologic deficit until almost age 4, Wicklow et al. (2004) identified 3 mutations in the HEXA gene: 10T-C (S4P; 606869.0014) and 972T-A (V324V) on the maternal allele, and 1A-T (M1L; 606869.0027) on the paternal allele. Because the delay in onset of neurologic symptoms indicated the presence of residual HEXA, Wicklow et al. (2004) analyzed the effects of the amino acid substitutions on HEXA expression in COS-7 cells. They found that no HEXA activity was associated with the M1L mutation, whereas the S4P mutation resulted in 59% of the activity expressed by wildtype DNA, a level associated with an adult-onset form of the disease. Further analysis revealed that the 972T-A mutation created a new exon 8 donor site, causing a 17-bp deletion and destabilization of the resulting abnormal transcript. Wicklow et al. (2004) concluded that the remaining normal mRNA produced from the 972T-A allele must account for the delayed onset of symptoms in this child. </p>
