Two affected HEXA alleles were found in an Israeli Druze Tay-Sachs child born to first-cousin parents. His paternal allele contained two adjacent changes in exon 5: a496C, which resulted in a frameshift and premature termination codon 96 nucleotides downstream, and 498CÃG, a silent mutation. The mat
