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]

Deficiency of UDPglucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase Pathogenic:3

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

Variant summary: GALT c.199C>T (p.Arg67Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, N-terminal (IPR005849) domain 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 3.2e-05 in 30924 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.199C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Galactosemia (Sommer 1995, Boutron 2012). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Two publications reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Sommer 1995, Riehman 2001). The most pronounced variant effect resulted in <10% of normal activity. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 67 of the GALT protein (p.Arg67Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033658, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactosemia (PMID: 8598637, 22944367). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25137). 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 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALT function (PMID: 11152465). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
