Screening for Tay‐Sachs disease carriers by full‐exon sequencing with novel variant interpretation outperforms enzyme testing in a pan‐ethnic cohort

BACKGROUND: Pathogenic variants in HEXA that impair β‐hexosaminidase A (Hex A) enzyme activity cause Tay‐Sachs Disease (TSD), a severe autosomal‐recessive neurodegenerative disorder. Hex A enzyme analysis demonstrates near‐zero activity in patients affected with TSD and can also identify carriers, w...
