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]

Variant summary: GALT c.602G>A (p.Arg201His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251486 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.602G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Galactosemia (examples: Robertson_2000, Webb_2003, Ko_2010, and Welsink-Karssies_2020). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Welsink-Karssies_2020). GALT enzyme activity in cells obtained from a homozygous individual with this variant was <10% of normal activity. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic (n=2) and likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The GALT c.602G>A; p.Arg201His variant (rs111033735) is reported in the literature in individuals with galactosemia (Elsas 1995), including in an individual who is homozygous for the variant (Welsink-Karssies 2020), as well as an individual compound heterozygous with the Duarte allele (Ko 2010). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 25227). Functional studies of the variant protein have shown a mild decrease in GALT activity compared to wild type protein (Riehman 2001, Ko 2010), but GALT activity in patient erythrocytes carrying the p.Arg201His variant is more pronounced (Ko 2010, Welsink-Karssies 2020). This variant is found in the general population with a low overall allele frequency of 0.002% (7/282866 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 201 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.738). Additionally, other variants at this codon (Arg201Cys, Arg201Ser) have been reported in association with galactosemia (see ClinVar Variation ID: 25226, Crespo 2020), giving further support for the importance of this codon for proper GALT function. Based on available information, the p.Arg201His variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES Crespo C et al.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 201 of the GALT protein (p.Arg201His). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033735, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase deficiency which is specific for Duarte or classic galactosemia (PMID: 11397328, 20547145; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25227). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GALT protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALT function (PMID: 11152465). This variant disrupts the p.Arg201 amino acid residue in GALT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GALT-related conditions (PMID: 22461411), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
