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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 11, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 333 of the GALT protein (p.Arg333Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactosemia (PMID: 10439960, 12872845, 23749220). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3623). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALT function (PMID: 23583749). This variant disrupts the p.Arg333 amino acid residue in GALT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1897530, 10384398, 10399107, 18207281, 25592817). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
