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]

The GALT c.425T>A; p.Met142Lys variant (rs111033695, ClinVar Variation ID: 3609) is reported in the literature in several compound heterozygous individuals and a homozygous individual affected with galactosemia (Boutron 2012, Berry 2000, Gort 2006, Jezela-Stanek 2021, Milankovics 2010, Ozgul 2013, Reichardt 1991, Seyrantepe 1999). This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.004% (5/113,770 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.978). In vitro functional analyses demonstrate severely reduced enzyme activity when p.Met142Lys is expressed in COS cells (Reichardt 1991). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Boutron A et al.

Variant summary: GALT c.425T>A (p.Met142Lys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, N-terminal domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251496 control chromosomes. c.425T>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Galactosemia, both in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state (Reichardt_1991, Shin_1999, Milankovics_2010, Seyrantepe_1999, Bosch_2005, Gort_2006, Boutron_2012, etc). The variant has been reported to have <10% wild-type enzyme activity when expressed in COS cells (Reichardt_1991). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 142 of the GALT protein (p.Met142Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033695, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactosemia (PMID: 2011574, 10384398, 10960497, 17041746, 20213376, 22944367, 23924834). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3609). 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 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Expression of M142K in COS cells was associated with a severe reduction in galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) enzyme activity compared to wild type (Reichardt et al. 1991); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22944367, 17041746, 20008339, 10960497, 20213376, 31194252, 31980526, 34030713, 31589614, 10384398, 2011574) -

The GALT c.425T>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Met142Lys. This variant has previously been reported in the homozygous state or with a second pathogenic GALT variant in multiple patients with classic galactosemia (e.g., Reichardt et al. 1991. PubMed ID 2011574; Shin et al. 1999. PubMed ID 10384398; Boutron et al. 2012, PMID 22944367). The p.Met142Lys substitution was reported to abolish GALT enzyme activity in a functional study using COS cells (Reichardt et al. 1991. PubMed ID 2011574). This variant is reported in 0.0044% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/9-34647876-T-A). It is interpreted as a pathogenic variant but multiple independent submitters to ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/3609/). Taken together, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
