Simultaneous surgery for gastrostomy and laryngotracheal separation in a patient with Tay‒Sachs disease

Abstract Genetic testing identified novel compound heterozygous missense variants in the HEXA gene (NM_00520.6: c.775A>C and NM_000520.6: c.508C>T) in a 16-month-old girl diagnosed with Tay‒Sachs disease. The patient gradually became unable to consume food orally. She suffered severe aspiratio...

description Abstract Genetic testing identified novel compound heterozygous missense variants in the HEXA gene (NM_00520.6: c.775A>C and NM_000520.6: c.508C>T) in a 16-month-old girl diagnosed with Tay‒Sachs disease. The patient gradually became unable to consume food orally. She suffered severe aspiration pneumonia and underwent gastrostomy and laryngotracheal separation at 2 years and 4 months of age. Despite an initially good prognosis, she died at 3 years of age.
