Description

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 299 of the HEXA protein (p.Glu299Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs778191188, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HEXA-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
