Genes affected
B3GALT6 (HGNC:17978): (beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 6) The enzyme encoded by this intronless gene is a beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase found in the medial Golgi apparatus, where it catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates containing a terminal beta-linked galactose moiety. The encoded enzyme has a particular affinity for galactose-beta-1,4-xylose found in the linker region of glycosamines. This enzyme is required for glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

Variant summary: B3GALT6 c.17G>A (p.Arg6Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The frequency data for this variant in gnomAD is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.17G>A in individuals affected with Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity, type 1, with or without fractures and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429685). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.17G>A (p.R6Q) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the B3GALT6 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 17, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 6 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 6 of the B3GALT6 protein (p.Arg6Gln). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with B3GALT6-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429685). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Not Available"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
