La enfermedad de Tay-Sachs (ETS) es un trastorno genético mortal. Se genera cuando una sustancia grasa se acumula en el cerebro. Esta acumulación causa . Pero los niños con la enfermedad de Tay-Sachs nacen sin una de esas importantes enzimas: la hexosaminidasa A (o HEX-A). Por lo tanto, conforme estas. A number sign (#) is used with this entry because Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the alpha subunit.

The gene responsible for the juvenile form has been shown by molecular analysis of the HEXA gene to be allelic to that responsible for the classic infantile form of Tay-Sachs disease Paw et al. O’Brien made suggestions for nomenclature of the various hexosaminidase A ta-ysachs B mutations.
Tay–Sachs disease
Tay—Sachs disease along with AB-variant GM2-gangliosidosis and Tay-sacys disease occurs because a mutation inherited from both parents deactivates or inhibits this process. In Table 4 of their report, Lazarin et al. They pointed to the occurrence of the high frequency of 4 lysosomal storage diseases among Ashkenazim–TSD, Gaucher disease type INiemann-Pick disease seeand mucolipidosis type IV –in which the mutations are in genes that encode enzymes from a common biochemical pathway.
