Genes affected

GALK2 (HGNC:4119): (galactokinase 2) This gene encodes a highly efficient N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) kinase, which has galactokinase activity when galactose is present at high concentrations. The encoded protein is a member of the GHMP kinase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.973

The c.137T>A (p.I46K) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the GALK2 gene. This alteration results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 137, causing the isoleucine (I) at amino acid position 46 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
