Genetic Variant GALT:p.Arg328Cys (chr9-34649487-C-T) – ACMG Classification: Pathogenic (23 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 23 ACMG points: 23P and 0B. PS3PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000155.4(GALT):c.982C>T(p.Arg328Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000496 in 1,614,084 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000695711: This variant was found in one patient with severe GALT who was compound heterozygous with the common pathogenic GALT variant, p.Q188R. This patient had an undetectable GALT activity (Forges 2011). no". Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R328H) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 23 ACMG points.

PS3

PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000695711: This variant was found in one patient with severe GALT who was compound heterozygous with the common pathogenic GALT variant, p.Q188R. This patient had an undetectable GALT activity (Forges 2011). no

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 13 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000155.4

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr9-34649488-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 25309.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 104 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 17 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.91493 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.8645 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to galactosemia, classic galactosemia.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.976

PP5

Variant 9-34649487-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-34649487-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 381664.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
