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]

Deficiency of UDPglucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase

Pathogenic:12Other:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 31, 2024	This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 285 of the GALT protein (p.Lys285Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033773, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has been observed in individuals with low GALT enzyme activity, findings that are highly specific for galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase deficiency (PMID: 18210213, 25592817, 16540753, Invitae). This variant has been observed on the opposite chromosome (in trans) from a pathogenic variant in individuals affected with galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase deficiency (PMID: 25592817, 16540753, Invitae). This finding is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance, and suggests that this variant contributes to disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3621). 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, 18210213, 25614870). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Breda Genetics srl	Mar 31, 2020	The variant c.855G>T (p.Lys285Asn) is reported as pathogenic for galactosemia in ClinVar (Variation ID: 3621) and as affecting function/effect unknown in the Global Variome shared LOVD database v.3.0. In one study, this variant has been identified in homozygous state in 3 unrelated children and in compound heterozygous state with a second mutation in 12 children with classical galactosemia from unrelated families. The cohort of patients included families from Austria, Croatia and Germany. GALT activity in erythrocyte lysates of the three homozygous patients was reduced to 0.5 +- 2.41 mmol/hr/gHb (mean +- SD, normal 27.8 +- 6 mmol/hr/g Hb). The mean GALT activity determined in compound heterozygous patients was 0.5 +- 0.43 mmol/ hr/gHb (mean +- SD). In both homozygotes and compound heterozygotes, the clinical course in the newborn period was severe including jaundice, hepatomegaly, failure to thrive, cataracts, neurological symptoms, and cerebral edema. For most of them intensive care, including exchange transfusions, was necessary. According to the authors, this variant is a common mutation in their population (Greber-Platzer et al., 1997, PMID: 9222760). The variant is reported with an estimated allele frequency of 0.0002 in 1000 Genomes Project, 0.0001392 in gnomAD exomes, and 0.00003186 in gnomAD genomes, with no homozygous individuals reported. -

Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 10649501, 9222760, 11152465, and 18210213. Classification of NM_000155.3(GALT):c.855G>T(K285N) is based on the following criteria: This is a well-established pathogenic variant in the literature that has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Aug 14, 2023	The GALT c.855G>T (p.Lys285Asn) missense variant is a well-established disease-causing variant which has been reported in many individuals with galactosemia in the peer-reviewed literature (GeneReviews PMID: 20301691). Functional studies and computational evidence support the variant's damaging effect on the GALT enzyme (PMID: 9222760). The highest frequency of this allele in the Genome Aggregation Database is 0.000338 in the European (non-Finnish) population (version 3.1.2). The c.855G>T variant has been classified as pathogenic by over 15 submitters in ClinVar. This variant was identified in trans with a likely pathogenic variant. Based on the available evidence, the c.855G>T (p.Lys285Asn) variant is classified as pathogenic for galactosemia. -
