Genes affected
GLA (HGNC:4296): (galactosidase alpha) This gene encodes a homodimeric glycoprotein that hydrolyses the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. This enzyme predominantly hydrolyzes ceramide trihexoside, and it can catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose. A variety of mutations in this gene affect the synthesis, processing, and stability of this enzyme, which causes Fabry disease, a rare lysosomal storage disorder that results from a failure to catabolize alpha-D-galactosyl glycolipid moieties.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 21, 2020Variant summary: GLA c.679C>T (p.Arg227X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 183590 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). c.679C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Fabry Disease (Ashley_2001, Davies_1993, Germain_2002, Gomez_2012, Nakano_2013, Giugliani_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 17, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg227*) in the GLA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GLA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10666480, 12175777). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Fabry disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 8395937, 18205205, 25439755, 26047621). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 10733). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
