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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.581C>T (p.S194L) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 6) of the GALK2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 581, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 194 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
