Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GAL gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000015973.5. Only rare variants are included in the table.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Endocrine hormone of the central and peripheral nervous systems that binds and activates the G protein-coupled receptors GALR1, GALR2, and GALR3. This small neuropeptide may regulate diverse physiologic functions including contraction of smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract, growth hormone and insulin release and adrenal secretion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1370155, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1722333, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25691535}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Epilepsy, familial temporal lobe, 8 (ETL8) [MIM:616461]: A focal form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the temporal lobe. Seizures are usually accompanied by sensory symptoms, most often auditory in nature. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25691535}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
