Genes affected

GALNT12 (HGNC:19877): (polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 12) This gene encodes a member of a family of UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases, which catalyze the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to a serine or threonine residue on a polypeptide acceptor in the initial step of O-linked protein glycosylation. Mutations in this gene are associated with an increased susceptibility to colorectal cancer.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

The GALNT12 c.3G>A variant disrupts the translation initiation codon of the GALNT12 mRNA and is predicted to interfere with GALNT12 protein synthesis, however further research is needed. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 36315513 (2022)) and breast cancer and colorectal cancer (PMID: 19617566 (2009)). Assessment of experimental evidence regarding the effect of this variant on protein function is inconclusive (PMID: 19617566 (2009)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0011 (45/41310 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the GALNT12 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 65. This variant is present in population databases (rs267606839, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with colon cancer and breast cancer (PMID: 19617566, 36315513). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1270). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that disruption of the initiator codon affects GALNT12 function (PMID: 19617566). 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. -

The p.M1? variant (also known as c.3G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the GALNT12 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3. This alters the methionine residue at the initiation codon (ATG). This alteration was reported in an African American woman with colon and breast cancer, and showed absence of protein expression in functional studies (Guda K et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2009 Aug;106:12921-5). This alteration is expected to modify the initiation codon (ATG) resulting in either loss of translation initiation, N-terminal truncation, or cause a shift in the mRNA reading frame. The evidence for this gene-disease relationship is limited; therefore, the clinical significance of this alteration is unclear. -
