| GENE MAPPING & DOSAGE STUDIES - Y CHROMOSOME |
PCR analysis of DNA from this cell culture gave a positive result with a primer for Yq11, DYS227. |
| |
| MUTATION VERIFICATION |
Paw et al (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86:2413-2417 1989) reported that a patient with adult-onset GM2 gangliosidosis had a substitution of a serine for glycine at position 269 of the alpha-subunit of B-hexosaminidase. This guanosine to adenosine transition at the 3 prime end of exon 7 causes a loss of a ScrFI restriction site. DNA from the lymphoblasts of this patient (GM03770) also showed the loss of the ScrFI restriction site. The other allele was found to have the 4 base pair insertion in exon 11 observed in some cases of infantile Tay-Sachs Disease. |

| MUTATION VERIFICATION |
The gene mutation(s) in this sample have been verified by 6 laboratories. |
| |
| beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase (hexosaminidase A) |
According to the submitter, biochemical test results for this subject showed decreased enzyme activity. EC Number: 3.2.1.52 |

HEXA |
| Chromosomal Location |
15q23-q24 |
| Allelic Variant 1 |
606869.0008; GM2-GANGLIOSIDOSIS, ADULT ONSET |
| Identified Mutation |
GLY269SER; In 8 Ashkenazi adult GM2 gangliosidosis patients from 5 different families, Navon and Proia [Science 243: 1471 (1989)] 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. |

15q23-q24 |
| Allelic Variant 2 |
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 |
Jewish; variant; HEX A deficiency in white cells and lymphoblasts; mild dysarthria; 3 similarly affected sibs; donor subject is a compound heterozygote: one allele has a G>A transition at nucleotide 805 in exon 7 of the HEXA gene [805G>A] resulting in a substitution of serine for glycine at codon 269 [Gly269Ser (G269S)] and a second allele has a 4 base pair insertion in exon 11 of the HEXA gene [1278_1279insTATC] resulting in a premature termination signal.
