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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000155.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.982
• PP5: Variant 9-34649506-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-34649506-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1691431.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1691431). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase deficiency (PMID: 1427861, 20863731). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033809, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 334 of the GALT protein (p.Lys334Arg). -
