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]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 272 of the GALT protein (p.Arg272His). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033831, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactosemia (PMID: 22944367; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38277). 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%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg272 amino acid residue in GALT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GALT-related conditions (PMID: 20151200), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: The GALT c.815G>A (p.Arg272His) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 2/245620 control chromosomes (gnomAD) at a frequency of 0.0000081, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GALT variant (0.0028868). This variant has been reported in three patients in compound heterozygous state with another pathogenic mutation (Boutron_2012). Another missense change at the same residue Arg272Gly has also been reported in a patient with galactesemia and is classified as pathogenic by a database in ClinVar. Taken together, this variant is classified as VUS - possibly pathogenic. -
