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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 29, 2018Variant summary: GLB1 c.176G>A (p.Arg59His) 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 4.1e-05 in 120758 control chromosomes. c.176G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVB (Morquio Syndrome B) (Santamaria_2007, Silva_1999), in which two homozygote patients were found to have <10% enzyme activity (Santamaria_2007). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. A ClinVar submssion from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 04, 2021The c.176G>A (p.R59H) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the GLB1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 176, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 59 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the GLB1 c.176G>A alteration was observed in 0.0036% (9/249484) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.0087% (3/34526) in the Latino subpopulation. This alteration has been identified in the homozygous state or compound heterozygous with a second GLB1 variant in many patients with infantile (type I) GM1-gangliosidosis (Higaki, 2011; Morrone, 2000; Santamaria, 2006; Santamaria, 2007a; Silva, 1999). This alteration has also been observed with a second GLB1 variant in two patients with the adult form (type III) of GM1 gangliosidosis (Giugliani, 2019). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Expression studies have shown this variant is associated with no residual GLB1 enzyme activity (Caciotti, 2005; Santamaria, 2007b). The p.R59H alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
GM1 gangliosidosis;C0086652:Mucopolysaccharidosis, MPS-IV-B Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 22, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 59 of the GLB1 protein (p.Arg59His). This variant is present in population databases (rs72555392, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with GM1 gangliosidosis (PMID: 10338095, 16941474, 17309651, 17664528). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 945). 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: 17664528). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

GM1 gangliosidosis Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaMar 08, 2018Across a selection of the available literature, the GLB1 c.176G>A (p.Arg59His) missense variant has been reported in at least three studies and is found in at least 15 individuals with GM1-gangliosidosis, including in ten in a homozygous state and in five in a compound heterozygous state (Silva et al. 1999; Morrone et al. 2000; Santamaria et al. 2007). All of the reported probands presented with infantile GM1-gangliosidosis. The p.Arg59His variant was absent from 200 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.000089 in the Latino population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Functional analysis in proband fibroblasts and COS-7 cells found that the p.Arg59His variant exhibited a nearly complete loss of enzymatic activity compared to wild type (Santamaria et al. 2007). Based on the evidence, the p.Arg59His variant is classified as pathogenic for GM1-gangliosidosis. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
