Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000155.4(GALT):c.997C>T(p.Arg333Trp) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000458 in 1,461,876 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 Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R333L) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 333 of the GALT protein (p.Arg333Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033800, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with classic or Duarte variant galactosemia (PMID: 1897530, 10384398, 10399107, 18207281, 25592817). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3610). 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 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALT function (PMID: 1897530, 11152465, 12208137). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The GALT c.997C>T; p.Arg333Trp variant (rs111033800) has been described in the compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals and families affected with classic or Duarte galactosemia (Ashino 1995, Carney 2009, Feillet 2008, Hirokawa 1999, Hughes 2009, Knerr 2013, Reichardt 1991, Viggiano 2015, Zaffanello 2005, Zekanowski 1999). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 3610), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.002% (5/246258 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. In vitro functional studies of the variant protein demonstrates impaired GALT enzyme function (Reichardt 1991, Riehman 2001). Additionally, other variants at this codon (p.Arg333Gln, p.Arg333Gly, p.Arg333Leu) have been reported in individuals with galactosemia and are considered pathogenic (Leslie 1992, Ng 2003, Singh 2012, Tyfield 1999). Based on available information, the p.Arg333Trp variant is considered pathogenic. REFERENCES Ashino J et al. Molecular characterization of galactosemia (type 1) mutations in Japanese.

Published functional studies found this variant is associated with very low galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase activity compared to wild-type (PMID: 11152465, 1897530); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25087612, 10399107, 25592817, 10573007, 18207281, 8051928, 9686364, 10384398, 15775761, 11678552, 10408771, 15633893, 26419375, 20008339, 1897530, 19181333, 23430559, 2011574, 7550229, 19224951, 8892021, 8943248, 17143577, 8692963, 12208137, 18813948, 20663501, 22944367, 31589614, 7474913, 11152465, 25124065, 20547145, 21960482, 8522334, 25622686, 31194252, 34030713, 25174965, 8598637) -
