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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 231 of the GALT protein (p.Arg231Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033749, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with low GALT enzyme activity, findings that are highly specific for galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase deficiency (PMID: 14518827, 22944367; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25246). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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: 25614870, 25814382). This variant disrupts the p.Arg231 amino acid residue in GALT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7550229, 11152465, 22944367, 25614870). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: The GALT c.691C>T (p.Arg231Cys) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and is located in the intersubunit interface of the protein (Boutron_2012). 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant has been reported multiple patients with galactosemia in homozygous or compound heterozygous state with other pathogenic variants (Alfadhel_2016, Boutron_2012, Schadewaldt_2003) and is absent in 121210 control chromosomes. A functional study showed this variant leads to loss of enzymatic activity (Coelho_2014). Another missense change (p.R231H) at this residue has also been reported in association with galactosemia (ARUP, ClinVar). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
