Abstract
Abstract: Homozygotes and heterozygotes for the Tay-Sachs gene can be identified by hexosaminidase A determinations of tear fluid collected in filter-paper strips. Total hexosaminidase activity in tears was 4576 ± 665 nmol per ml. per hour, and the A fraction comprised from 38 to 72% of the total. The hexosaminidase A levels in tears are six to ten times higher than in serum. Only Tay-Sachs homozygotes can be identified by hexosaminidase A determinations in saliva. In tears, hexosaminidase A migrates with the α-globulin fraction and is not associated with lysozyme. The simple method of tear collection on filter-paper strips and subsequent storage in screw-cap vials with no loss of hexosaminidase A activity would ease considerably the dispatch of samples from one city to another. The method is of value for screening other inborn errors of metabolism and carriers.
