Genes affected
GALT (HGNC:4135): (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, namely the conversion of UDP-glucose + galactose-1-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate + UDP-galactose. The absence of this enzyme results in classic galactosemia in humans and can be fatal in the newborn period if lactose is not removed from the diet. The pathophysiology of galactosemia has not been clearly defined. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The GALT c.961C>T; p.His321Tyr variant (rs367543266) is reported in the literature in one compound heterozygote and one homozygote affected with galactosemia (Webb 2003, ARUP data). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 25299). This variant is only observed on two alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The histidine at codon 321 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.922). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Webb AL et al. Verbal dyspraxia and galactosemia. Pediatr Res. 2003 Mar;53(3):396-402.

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 321 of the GALT protein (p.His321Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs367543266, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactosemia (PMID: 12595586, 30172461; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25299). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GALT protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALT function (PMID: 30172461). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: GALT c.961C>T (p.His321Tyr) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, C-terminal domain (IPR005850) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251458 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.961C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Galactosemia including homozygous individuals with classic galactosemia (example: Webb_2003, Mir_2022, Yuzyuk_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. In vitro and in vivo functional studies show that the variant resulted in reduced activity (Yuzyuk_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12595586, 30172461, 27005423). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25299). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The GALT c.961C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.His321Tyr. This variant has been reported, in the homozygous state or heterozygous with a second rare GALT variant, in patients with galactosemia (Table 1, Webb et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12595586; Table 2, Yuzyuk et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30172461; Mir et al. 2023. doi: 10.1159/000528905). Additionally, we have observed this variant in the apparent homozygous state in two siblings with classic galactosemia (Internal Data, PreventionGenetics). The p.His321 amino acid has been reported to play a role in GALT enzyme Zn2+ binding, and the p.His321Tyr substitution is predicted to disrupt this metal binding (McCorvie et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27005423). Additionally, the p.His321Tyr substitution was reported to reduce in vitro enzyme activity to 3.9% of wild-type (Yuzyuk et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30172461). This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Based on the collective evidence, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
