Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000512.5(GALNS):c.871G>A(p.Ala291Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000813 in 1,598,686 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A291D) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

In vitro and in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene product (low in vitro enzymatic activity; low to null enzymatic activity in homozygotes; PS3_strong); the prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls (PS4_moderate); absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_moderate); multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene (PP3_supporting) -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 291 of the GALNS protein (p.Ala291Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis type IV (PMID: 7633425, 12721840, 15235041, 20574428). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 707). 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 GALNS protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALNS function (PMID: 12721840). This variant disrupts the p.Ala291 amino acid residue in GALNS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GALNS-related conditions (PMID: 16287098, 25252036), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Morquio syndrome Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: GALNS c.871G>A (p.Ala291Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Sulfatase, N-terminal domain (IPR000917) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 229188 control chromosomes. c.871G>A has been reported in the literature as biallelic homozygous or compound heterozygous genotypes in multiple individuals affected with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA (Morquio Syndrome A) (example, Bunge_1997, Montao_2003, Tomatsu_2004, Bidchol_2014). 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 (Montao_2003). The most pronounced variant effect results in non-detectable lysosomal enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase activity in vitro. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25252036, 9298823, 12721840, 15235041). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
