Genes affected

GALK2 (HGNC:4119): (galactokinase 2) This gene encodes a highly efficient N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) kinase, which has galactokinase activity when galactose is present at high concentrations. The encoded protein is a member of the GHMP kinase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

The c.1212G>C (p.W404C) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 10) of the GALK2 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1212, causing the tryptophan (W) at amino acid position 404 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
