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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 25, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 386 of the GALNS protein (p.Arg386Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs118204437, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Morquio syndrome (PMID: 7795586, 9298823, 22976768, 23227063, 24726177, 26147980). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 700). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GALNS protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALNS function (PMID: 7795586, 15309681). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.3816+4A>G variant is present with allele frequency of 0.001% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been sumitted to the ClinVar database as Uncertain Significance. However, additional functional stuides will be required to prove the pathogenicity of this variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS). -
Morquio syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 04, 2017Variant summary: The GALNS c.1156C>T (p.Arg386Cys) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). A functional study, Fukuda_1996, supports these predictions with the observation that the variant causes deficient GALNS activity. This variant was found in 23/275538 control chromosomes (gnomAD) at a frequency of 0.0000835, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GALNS variant (0.0020412). Multiple publications have cited the variant in affected homozygous and compound heterozygous pts. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineFeb 02, 2024The p.Arg392Cys variant in GALNS has been reported in the homozygous or heterozygous state in >12 individuals (>4 homozygotes, >8 compound heterozygotes) with mucopolysaccharidosis type 4A (MPS 4A). At least 2 of these individuals underwent biochemical analyses that showed markedly reduced GALNS enzyme activity (Ogawa 1995 PMID: 7795586, Bunge 1997 PMID: 9298823, Lee 2012 PMID: 23227063, Pollard 2013 PMID: 22976768, Morrone 2014 PMID: 24726177, Jazela-Stanek 2019 PMID: 30927141, Fang 2022 PMID: 34813777). This variant segregated with disease in at least 2 affected relatives from 2 families (Jazela-Stanek 2019 PMID: 30927141). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 700) and has been identified in 0.03% (4/15280) of Latino/Admixed American chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v3.1.2). This frequency is consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that this variant reduces GALNS activity (Ogawa 1995 PMID: 7795586) and computational prediction tools and conservation analyses are consistent with pathogenicity. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive mucopolysaccharidosis type 4A.
