Genes affected

GALNS (HGNC:4122): (galactosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase) This gene encodes N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase which is a lysosomal exohydrolase required for the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin 6-sulfate. Sequence alterations including point, missense and nonsense mutations, as well as those that affect splicing, result in a deficiency of this enzyme. Deficiencies of this enzyme lead to Morquio A syndrome, a lysosomal storage disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 94 of the GALNS protein (p.Arg94Cys). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with mucopolysaccharidosis type IVa (PMID: 10814710, 23876334, 29731656). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 651205). 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 GALNS protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALNS function (PMID: 7795586, 10814710). This variant disrupts the p.Arg94 amino acid residue in GALNS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GALNS-related conditions (PMID: 7795586, 9298823, 10814710, 23876334, 29731656), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
