The HEXA gene codes for a protein that breaks down and recycles toxic substances in our brain and spinal cord. Mutations in the HEXA gene lead to Tay-Sachs disease. This is a disorder in which the level of toxic substances builds in the brain and spinal cord, leading to severe brain damage and eventually death.
