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]

Deficiency of UDPglucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase Pathogenic:2

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 186 of the GALT protein (p.His186Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033725, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactosemia (PMID: 22944367; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25214). 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 GALT protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.His186 amino acid residue in GALT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20547145). 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. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: GALT c.556C>T (p.His186Tyr) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, N-terminal domain (IPR005849) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.9e-06 in 251676 control chromosomes. c.556C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Galactosemia, including as a compound heterozygous genotype (e.g. Boutron_2012, Calderon_2007, Peter_2022, Labcorp (formerly Invitae)). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22944367, 17486650, 35677809). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25214). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
