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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	May 17, 2022	This sequence change affects codon 288 of the GALT mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the GALT protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs372134800, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with features of galactosemia (PMID: 22944367). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203732). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jul 29, 2019	Variant summary: GALT c.864C>T alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: One predict the variant strengthens a cryptic 3 acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 251692 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in GALT causing Galactosemia (4.4e-05 vs 0.0029), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.864C>T, has been reported in the literature in two compound heterozygous individuals affected with Galactosemia (McDonald_2009, Boutron_2012). One of these reports also noted that the diagnosis was confirmed by absent GALT activity in erythrocytes in all their cases, though no patient specific data were provided (Boutron 2012). The variant has also been reported in homozygosity in a sample from an individual that had only a residual GALT activity; and although no information was provided on the patient's phenotype, the measured enzyme activity was specific for galactosemia (Yuzyuk_2018). A conference abstract (McDonald 2009) described that cDNA containing the variant of interest (from a proband and probands father) was void of exon 9, although they both had additional variants leading to a complex haplotype (N288N, T292T and H315H) and it is not clear if the exon skipping effect was caused solely by our variant of interest or a combination effect due to this specific haplotype. These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Three ClinVar submissions from other clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cited the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic until more information becomes available. -
