Genes affected

GALC (HGNC:4115): (galactosylceramidase) This gene encodes a lysosomal protein which hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Krabbe disease, also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Oct 02, 2020	Variant summary: GALC c.1657G>A (p.Gly553Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 248898 control chromosomes. c.1657G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Krabbe Disease (example, DeGasperi_1999, Tappino_2010). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal GALC activity in an in-vitro assay (De Gasperi_1999). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 05, 2023	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 553 of the GALC protein (p.Gly553Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs748573754, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Krabbe disease (PMID: 10477434, 20886637). This variant is also known as c.1609G>A (p.Gly537Arg). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189113). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GALC protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALC function (PMID: 10477434, 27638593). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
