In infantile Tay-Sachs disease, there is an almost complete lack of hexosaminidase A. In late-onset Tay-Sachs disease, there is deficiency of hexosaminidase A enzyme activity. Because there is some enzyme activity, the disorder is less severe and progresses much slower than infantile Tay-Sachs disease.
