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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 34 of the GALT protein (p.Tyr34Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with classic galactosemia (PMID: 22461411, 25592817). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25125). 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: 22461411, 25592817). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
