6. BIOCHEMICAL DIAGNOSIS
The determination of β-hexosaminidase deficiency in the serum and
leukocytes is the basis for the biochemical diagnosis of GM2
gangliosidosis. Serum, white blood cells, cultured somatic tissues
including amniocytes and even dried blood spots on filter paper can be
used for testing hexosaminidase levels. This employs the use of a
fluorogenic substrate the-GlcNAc derivative of 4-methylumbelliferone
(4MUG). Both the isoforms-Hex-A and Hex-B can utilize this substrate
and convert it to a fluorescent product 4-methylumbelliferone. Differences
in the thermal, pH or electrochemical properties distinguishes the two
isoforms. Hex-A is heat labile at 50˚C whereas Hex-B is heat stable.
Hence, the primary assay calculates the total hexosaminidase activity using
MUG substrate. This is followed by subjecting a second serum aliquot to
heat, thereby inactivating Hex-A and reflecting only Hex-B activity. Thus,
the residual Hex-A activity is then calculated by subtracting Hex-B activity
from total hexosaminidase activity. To achieve more specificity, another
substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl-GlcNAc-6-sulfate (4MUGS) is used in

147
addition to 4MUG, wherein only Hex-A can act on this substrate. It is
important to run assay of control enzyme activity simultaneously using
healthy subjects to determine a normal range. The above assay has few

limitations such as in case of pregnant women or those taking oral
contraceptives pills (OCPs) a circulating heat-stable hexosaminidase P is
synthesized. This can falsely decrease the calculated serum activity of
hexosaminidase A relative to that of total hexosaminidase. This is why
carrier status in pregnant women or those taking OCPs should be assessed
in leukocytes, as opposed to serum. Another limitation is due to the effect
of some mutations imparting thermal stability to Hex-A. As a result, using
the heat inactivation assay will give false positive results.
The testing for the AB variant TSD with activator deficiency involves
using a labeled GM2 ganglioside rather than a chromogenic substrate. It
has been demonstrated that presence of two alleles-R247W and R249W do
not lead to disease conditions in tested individuals as they can process
normal GM2 ganglioside substrate. But, when tested with 4MUGS
substrate, they show reduced activity. Hence these alleles are termed as
pseudo deficiency alleles.
7. CARRIER SCREENING FOR TSD
Though lysosomal enzymes show overlapping activity in leucocytes
hence carrier identification cannot be confirmed by enzymes study.
Nonetheless, for TSD, serum or plasma level can be used as a marker for
carrier screening.
TSD carrier screening in certain populations like Ashkenazi Jewish,
French Canadian, or Cajun descents (ACOG, 2005) has been
recommended by The American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecologists.
However, due to multiethnic and endogamous marriages, carrier screening
using enzyme study has become challenging. In our center we have a
limited experience of carrier screening by enzymes study from plasma or
serum, while study by Lazarin et al., (2013) have shown that, nearly 40%
of carriers of diseases/mutations most prevalent in the Ashkenazi Jewish
population for TSD, did not report Jewish ancestry [43]. Recent study by
Strom et al., (2013) suggests that performance by enzymatic assays may
not be optimal in the general population [44]. Therefore, in the era of NGS,
https://t.me/medicina_free
GM2 Gangliosidosis/Tay Sachs Disease
149
identification of the risk allele in the ethnicity or population remains the
gold standard for carrier screening of Gm2 gangliosidosis.
8. PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS OF GM2 GANGLIOSIDOSIS
With the limited availability of therapeutic option; prenatal diagnosis
(PD) remains the only preventable measure for storage disorders. In our
study of one hundred forty pregnancies having confirmed diagnosis of
LSDs in index case, prenatal diagnosis was carried out by enzymes study
during antenatal period from uncultured and/or cultured chorionic villus
(CV/CCV) and cultured amniotic fluid (CAF) cells. In seven pregnancies,
molecular analysis was additionally carried out where mutation was known
in an index case. Table 4 depicts the biochemical and molecular diagnosis
of the above-mentioned prenatal samples of our study. Of 140 pregnancies,
60 (42.9%) were diagnosed as affected, 13 (9.3%) had an intermediate
enzyme activity and 67 (47.8%) had normal enzyme activity. Results were
confirmed in 83 cases whereas 57 cases were lost from the follow-up. In
one case, enzyme b-galactose-6 sulphate sulphatase specific for Morquio-
A disorder [mucopolysaccharidosis-IVA (MPS-IVA)] had shown 30%
reduced activity in CV cells and the case was diagnosed as carrier for
MPS-IVA while it delivered an affected child. Further molecular analysis
in seven cases that included six with Tay-Sachs and one with Gaucher
disease, confirmed the results obtained by enzymatic study during PD. PD
of LSDs can be carried out by enzymes study from CV/CCV and CAF
with an accuracy of molecular method. However, in cases of MPS and
mucolipidosis, Amniotic fluid (AF) is preferred over CV/CCV. In addition,
special care is needed while interpreting enzyme results encompassing
carrier status and they need to be further evaluated by molecular studies
[7, 45].

9. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS/PHENOTYPE
9.1. Infantile Acute Form
The infantile TSD also known as the B variant is the most severe form
causing multiple anomalies in the affected individual followed by early
death. These patients generally lack Hex-A or have only 0.1% of the
normal Hex-A enzyme activity resulting in complete discrepancy in GM2-
ganglioside breakdown. These children are born normal at birth, showing
clinical manifestations in 2-3 months of age. The first distinctive signs
include exaggerated startle response, generalized hypotonia, and failure to
follow objects visually. The gross accumulation of GM2 gangliosides in
the neuronal cells is the main reason for the neurodegeneration as well as
muscle weakness which may cause paralysis in some cases. The lipid
deposition in the bipolar ganglion cells of the retina causes the appearance
of a cherry-red spot on the macula which can be observed by fundoscopic
examination. Hyperacusis-a distinct feature can aid in an early diagnosis of
the condition. There is rapid deterioration of the nervous system leading to
difficulty in swallowing, uncontrolled seizures, spasticity, blindness and
dementia due to progression of the condition. The patients generally die by

GM2 Gangliosidosis/Tay Sachs Disease
151
the age of 2 to 4 years [46]. Figure 5 depicts the distinct clinical phenotype
in the infantile form of TSD.
A study by Bley and colleagues on TSD and SD infantile forms stated
that the most initial symptoms were developmental arrest (83%), abnormal
startle response (65%), and reduced muscle tone (60%) [46].
Macrocephaly generally begins by the age of 18 months. The most
common neuroimaging findings are signal changes like hyperintensity or
hypointensity in the basal ganglia and cerebral white matter on T2-
weighted sequences on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies [3]. A
population-based review of GM2 gangliosidosis patients in UK was carried
out by Smith and colleagues. They reported death in 40 of the 41 infantile
patients within the range of 18 months-6 year 9 months. In 53% cases,
pneumonia and/or respiratory failure was the cause of death and for the
remaining it was unspecified [47]. A study by Er et al., 2018 reported
similar findings thus, indicating pneumonia and/or respiratory failure to be
a major cause of death [48].
The infantile form of Sandhoff disease shows a similar clinical
manifestation like that of TSD, however, liver and spleen enlargement are
a key feature in SD. Presence of hypointense thalami is another significant
feature of infantile form of SD. This is due to calcium accumulation, loss
of axon and myelin in the central cortical neurons, and gliosis [49].
