A family (father and daughter) was found with a deficiency of hexosaminidase (HEX A and HEX B). Residual HEX A activity was about 30% of usual heterozygotes with very little HEX B activity. Thermostability of HEX A was decreased. No immunological cross reacting material was found for HEX A or B. The mechanism seems to be the production of abnormal, unstable beta subunits, which are still capable of combining with alpha subunits to form functional HEX A.
发现一个家庭(父亲和女儿)缺乏己糖胺酶(HEX A和HEX B)。残余HEX A活性约为正常杂合子的30%,而HEX B活性极低。HEX A的热稳定性降低。未发现针对HEX A或B的免疫交叉反应物质。其机制似乎是产生异常、不稳定的β亚基,这些亚基仍能够与α亚基结合形成功能性HEX A。
