Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP4
The NM_003781.4(B3GALNT1):āc.416T>Gā(p.Leu139Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000248 in 1,614,086 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (ā ).
B3GALNT1 (HGNC:918): (beta-1,3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1 (Globoside blood group)) This gene is a member of the beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase (beta3GalT) gene family. This family encodes type II membrane-bound glycoproteins with diverse enzymatic functions using different donor substrates (UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine) and different acceptor sugars (N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine). The beta3GalT genes are distantly related to the Drosophila Brainiac gene and have the protein coding sequence contained in a single exon. The beta3GalT proteins also contain conserved sequences not found in the beta4GalT or alpha3GalT proteins. The carbohydrate chains synthesized by these enzymes are designated as type 1, whereas beta4GalT enzymes synthesize type 2 carbohydrate chains. The ratio of type 1:type 2 chains changes during embryogenesis. By sequence similarity, the beta3GalT genes fall into at least two groups: beta3GalT4 and 4 other beta3GalT genes (beta3GalT1-3, beta3GalT5). The encoded protein of this gene does not use N-acetylglucosamine as an acceptor sugar at all. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

The c.416T>G (p.L139R) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 1) of the B3GALNT1 gene. This alteration results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 416, causing the leucine (L) at amino acid position 139 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
