Nakano et al (J Neurochem 51:984-987 1988) performed sequence analysis of a clone containing the entire protein coding sequence of the Bhexosaminidase alpha chain from this Tay-Sachs disease patient. Their results showed a single nucleotide substitution from G to A at nucleotide residue no. 1444 which resulted in a change in amino acid residue no. 482 from the normal glutamic acid to lysine. Northern blotting analysis showed B-hexosaminidase alpha chain mRNA of apparently normal size and quantity. |

| Allelic Variant 2 |
606869.0004; TAY-SACHS DISEASE |
| Identified Mutation |
GLU482LYS; Sequence analysis showed a single nucleotide substitution, from G to A, at nucleotide 1444, resulted in a change from glutamic acid to lysine at amino acid 482. |
| Remarks |
Non-Jewish; electrophor shows absence of hex A band; consanguineous parents; synthesizes an altered a-chain polypeptide: N-glycosylated but not phosphorylated, secreted, or processed to mature form; donor subject is homozygous for a single nucleotide substitution from G to A at nucleotide 1444 in exon 13 of the HEXA gene (1444G>A) resulting in the substitution of lysine for glutamic acid at codon 482 [Glu482Lys (E482K)] |
