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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_000153.4
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 94 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 16 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.18582 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.28853 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Krabbe disease.
PP3
Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect 9: AlphaMissense, BayesDel_addAF, BayesDel_noAF, Cadd, M_CAP, MutationAssessor, PROVEAN, REVEL, REVEL [when max_spliceai, FATHMM_MKL, MetaRNN, MutationTaster was below the threshold]
PP5
Variant 14-87939915-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-87939915-A-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 225368.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.113942355). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.
