Genes affected
GALC (HGNC:4115): (galactosylceramidase) This gene encodes a lysosomal protein which hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Krabbe disease, also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 392 of the GALC protein (p.Ser392Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GALC-related conditions. This variant is also known as S376P. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555927). 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 GALC protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALC function (PMID: 27638593). 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. -
