Genes affected
GALE (HGNC:4116): (UDP-galactose-4-epimerase) This gene encodes UDP-galactose-4-epimerase which catalyzes two distinct but analogous reactions: the epimerization of UDP-glucose to UDP-galactose, and the epimerization of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine. The bifunctional nature of the enzyme has the important metabolic consequence that mutant cells (or individuals) are dependent not only on exogenous galactose, but also on exogenous N-acetylgalactosamine as a necessary precursor for the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Mutations in this gene result in epimerase-deficiency galactosemia, also referred to as galactosemia type 3, a disease characterized by liver damage, early-onset cataracts, deafness and cognitive disability, with symptoms ranging from mild ('peripheral' form) to severe ('generalized' form). Multiple alternatively spliced transcripts encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

UDPglucose-4-epimerase deficiency Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 07, 2022This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 252 of the GALE protein (p.Ile252Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs148834880, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GALE-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199015). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C25"). 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. -
