Genes affected
GLB1 (HGNC:4298): (galactosidase beta 1) This gene encodes a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 35 family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature lysosomal enzyme. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of a terminal beta-linked galactose residue from ganglioside substrates and other glycoconjugates. Mutations in this gene may result in GM1-gangliosidosis and Morquio B syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

GLB1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 03, 2023The GLB1 c.442C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg148Ser. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with GM1 gangliosidosis (see for example, Hinek et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10841810; Table 1, Hofer et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20175788; Table 1, Nestrasil et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29352662). An in vitro experimental study suggests this variant impacts protein function (Table 2, Zhang et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10839995). This variant is reported in 0.0086% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/3-33109737-G-T). Additionally, two different nucleotide changes that affect the same amino acid (p.Arg148Cys and p.Arg148His) have been classified as pathogenic and likely pathogenic, respectively (Internal Data, PreventionGenetics). The p.Arg148Ser variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Mucopolysaccharidosis, MPS-IV-B Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 11, 2018Variant summary: GLB1 c.442C>A (p.Arg148Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Glycoside hydrolase 35 catalytic domain 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 4.3e-05 in 276992 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publications). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in GLB1 causing GM1 gangliosidosis (4.3e-05 vs 2.00e-03), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.442C>A, has been reported in the literature in several individuals affected with GM1 gangliosidosis (Zhang_2000, Hofer_2010, Nestrasil_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein maturation and enzyme activity, with both being significantly reduced in the presence of the variant (Zhang_2000). Additionally, other variants at the Arg148 residue have been reported as associated with disease (p.Arg148Cys and p.Arg148His), suggesting that this codon is important for function. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
GM1 gangliosidosis;C0086652:Mucopolysaccharidosis, MPS-IV-B Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 31, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 148 of the GLB1 protein (p.Arg148Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs192732174, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with GM1 gangliosidosis (PMID: 10839995, 20175788, 25600812). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551757). 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 GLB1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GLB1 function (PMID: 10839995). This variant disrupts the p.Arg148 amino acid residue in GLB1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15986423, 17221873, 23151865, 25936995). 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. -
