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]

Deficiency of UDPglucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesOct 03, 2023The GALT c.405G>A, p.Ser135Ser variant (rs141232328), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 281069). This variant is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The variant is a synonymous substitution at a weakly conserved nucleotide and computational analyses (Alamut Visual Plus v.1.5.1) predict that this variant may impact splicing by creating a novel cryptic acceptor splice site. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 25, 2024This sequence change affects codon 135 of the GALT mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the GALT protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with galactosemia (Invitae). 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: 281069). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
