This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 167 of the GALNS protein (p.Phe167Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs148565559, gnomAD 0.2%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (PMID: 17876718). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 321204). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GALNS protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALNS function (PMID: 17876718). 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. -

Variant summary: GALNS c.499T>G (p.Phe167Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Sulfatase, N-terminal domain (IPR000917) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0016 in 1614082 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.002 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. This frequency is similar to the estimated for a pathogenic variant in GALNS causing Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA (Morquio Syndrome A) (0.0016 vs 0.002). c.499T>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with an attenuated form of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA. Two of these cases were reported with a second allele with uncertain significance (Morquio Syndrome A, e.g. Tomatsu_2005, Montano_2007) while the third case was reported to have mild features of the disease with a strong loss of function variant (Hiatt_2023). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, indicating that the variant results in reduced activity and reduced affinity for substrate (e.g. Montano_2007). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34828358, 17876718, 25287660, 22940367, 31732130, 25501214, 16287098, 36586412). These data suggest that the pathogenicity of the variant may be genotype dependent. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 321204). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
