Genes affected
GALT (HGNC:4135): (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, namely the conversion of UDP-glucose + galactose-1-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate + UDP-galactose. The absence of this enzyme results in classic galactosemia in humans and can be fatal in the newborn period if lactose is not removed from the diet. The pathophysiology of galactosemia has not been clearly defined. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Variant summary: The GALT c.414G>T (p.Thr138Thr) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. Mutation taster predicts a damaging outcome for this variant, while 1/5 splice prediction tools predict the variant to create a splice donor site. Additionally, ESE finder predicts the creation of SRp40 binding site. However, these predictions are yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 66/121340 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the African subpopulation at a frequency of 0.006255 (65/10392). This frequency is about 2 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GALT variant (0.0028868), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of African origin. In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as likely benign.
