Genes affected
GAL (HGNC:4114): (galanin and GMAP prepropeptide) This gene encodes a neuroendocrine peptide that is widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and also the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, adrenal gland and urogenital tract. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate two mature peptides: galanin and galanin message-associated peptide (GMAP). Galanin has diverse physiological functions including nociception, feeding and energy homeostasis, osmotic regulation and water balance. GMAP has been demonstrated to possess antifungal activity and hypothesized to be part of the innate immune system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

Submissions by phenotype

Familial temporal lobe epilepsy 8 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 30, 2019This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 2 (c.73_81+37del) of the GAL gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GAL-related conditions. The current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in GAL cause disease. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
