Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000153.4(GALC):c.388G>A(p.Glu130Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000434 in 1,613,708 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. E130Q) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

GALC (HGNC:4115): (galactosylceramidase) This gene encodes a lysosomal protein which hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Krabbe disease, also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr14-87986543-C-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 3015852.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 94 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 16 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.18582 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.28853 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Krabbe disease.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.929

PP5

Variant 14-87986543-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-87986543-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 188817.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
