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]

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 272 of the GALT protein (p.Arg272Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033766, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomalrecessive galactosemia (PMID: 20151200). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550184). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GALT protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg272 amino acid residue in GALT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22944367). 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. -

Variant summary: GALT c.814C>T (p.Arg272Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the C-terminal domain (IPR005850) 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 8e-06 in 250770 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.814C>T has been reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state in trans with a pathogenic variant (p.Q188R) in three unrelated individuals affected with Galactosemia (Ounap_2010). These data indicate that the variant is likely associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Two laboratories classified it as pathogenic (n=1)/likely pathogenic (n=1), and one classified it as VUS. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

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

The GALT c.814C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg272Cys. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state with a known pathogenic GALT variant in at least three individuals with classic galactosemia (Ounap et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20151200; Krabbi et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21501963). An alternate substitution impacting the same amino acid (p.Arg272His) has been reported along with a second GALT variant in patients with galactosemia (e.g., Boutron et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22944367). The c.814C>T (p.Arg272Cys) variant is reported in 0.0080% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/9-34648885-C-T). Based on the collective evidence, this variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
