Genes affected

GALNS (HGNC:4122): (galactosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase) This gene encodes N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase which is a lysosomal exohydrolase required for the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin 6-sulfate. Sequence alterations including point, missense and nonsense mutations, as well as those that affect splicing, result in a deficiency of this enzyme. Deficiencies of this enzyme lead to Morquio A syndrome, a lysosomal storage disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Benign:4

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jan 13, 2018	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Laboratory of Diagnosis and Therapy of Lysosomal Disorders, University of Padova	Feb 01, 2021	Allele frequency is >5% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (BA1_stand-alone); allele frequency is greater than expected for disorder (BS1_strong); multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (BP4_supporting) -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Feb 15, 2019	Variant summary: GALNS c.1177G>T (p.Ala393Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Sulfatase, N-terminal domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.06 in 275882 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 553 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 29-folds higher than the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in GALNS causing Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA (Morquio Syndrome A) phenotype (0.002), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. Three ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely benign/benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
