Genes affected
GLA (HGNC:4296): (galactosidase alpha) This gene encodes a homodimeric glycoprotein that hydrolyses the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. This enzyme predominantly hydrolyzes ceramide trihexoside, and it can catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose. A variety of mutations in this gene affect the synthesis, processing, and stability of this enzyme, which causes Fabry disease, a rare lysosomal storage disorder that results from a failure to catabolize alpha-D-galactosyl glycolipid moieties.

RPL36A-HNRNPH2 (HGNC:48349): (RPL36A-HNRNPH2 readthrough) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring ribosomal protein L36a and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (H') genes on chromosome X. The read-through transcript produces a protein with similarity to the protein encoded by the upstream locus, ribosomal protein L36a. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine with proline at codon 21 of the GLA protein (p.Leu21Pro). The leucine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between leucine and proline. This variant has been observed in individuals affected with GLA-related conditions (PMID: 26415523, 30038331, Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217374). This variant has been reported to affect GLA protein function (PMID: 26415523). For these reasons, this allele has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.

GLA c.62T>C is a missense variant that changes the amino acid at residue 21 from Leucine to Proline. This variant has been observed in at least one proband affected with Fabry disease (PMID:26415523;32023956;30038331). At least one functional study has demonstrated a substantial alteration in protein function relative to the wild-type (PMID:32023956;26415523;27657681). It is absent or not present at a significant frequency in gnomAD. In silico models agree that this variant is possibly or probably damaging. In conclusion, we classify GLA p.Leu21Pro (c.62T>C) as a pathogenic variant.
