Genes affected
GALNS (HGNC:4122): (galactosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase) This gene encodes N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase which is a lysosomal exohydrolase required for the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin 6-sulfate. Sequence alterations including point, missense and nonsense mutations, as well as those that affect splicing, result in a deficiency of this enzyme. Deficiencies of this enzyme lead to Morquio A syndrome, a lysosomal storage disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 29, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 94 of the GALNS protein (p.Arg94His). This variant is present in population databases (rs727503946, gnomAD 0.01%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (Morquio A) (PMID: 32183856, 35782601). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 167127). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg94 amino acid residue in GALNS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10814710, 23876334, 29731656). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Morquio syndrome Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 16, 2023Variant summary: GALNS c.281G>A (p.Arg94His) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 247782 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. c.281G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA (Morquio Syndrome A) with severe (e.g., Wang_2020) or slow progressive (e.g., Ko_2018, Lee_2022) phenotypes, as well as an individual with glaucoma (e.g., Carstens_2023). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. One publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have cited the variant with conflicting assessments: two submitters cite the variant as likely pathogenic, while one submitter cites the variant as uncertain significance. Additionally, missense variants impacting the same amino acid, c.281G>T/p.R94L, c.280C>G/p.R94G, and c.280C>T/p.R94C, have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic in ClinVar and as DM and associated with Mucopolysaccharidosis IVa in HGMD. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
