Description

Variant summary: HEXA c.1039_1056del18 (p.Asp347_Glu352del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove six amino acids from the catalytic domain (IPR015883) of the encoded protein. The variant was absent in 251410 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1039_1056del18 has been reported in the literature in a Jewish female individual who was identified as a carrier through enzyme-based screening and who had a pregnancy that was determined prenatally to be affected with Tay-Sachs Disease (Tomczak_1994). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence directly examining the impact of the variant on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
