Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong

The NM_000155.4(GALT):c.584T>G(p.Leu195Arg) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,882 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L195P) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 12 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_000155.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr9-34648353-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 25222.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.973

The GALT c.584T>G; p.Leu195Arg variant, to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature or gene specific databases. This variant is also absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Additionally, another variant at this codon (c.584T>C; p.Leu195Pro) has been reported in individuals with galactosemia and is considered pathogenic (Boutron 2012, Kozak 2000). The leucine at codon 195 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.943). However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Leu195Arg variant is uncertain at this time. References: Boutron A et al.
