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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCounsylMar 29, 2017- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 15, 2023This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 1 of the GALC gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in GALC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7437911, 9272171, 16607461). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Krabbe disease (PMID: 28598007). This variant is also known as c.147+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 432166). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJun 14, 2016The c.195+1 G>A splice site variant destroys the canonical splice donor site of intron 1. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. Although this variant has no been previously reported to our knowledge, it is interpreted to be likely pathogenic. -
