Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000758203 SCV001382774 pathogenic Tay-Sachs disease 2023-12-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the HEXA mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 193. This variant is present in population databases (rs121907965, gnomAD 0.0009%). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with Tay-Sachs disease (PMID: 9153525; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 619221). This variant disrupts the c.1A nucleotide in the HEXA gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1532289, 21796138). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
