Genes affected
GALNT12 (HGNC:19877): (polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 12) This gene encodes a member of a family of UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases, which catalyze the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to a serine or threonine residue on a polypeptide acceptor in the initial step of O-linked protein glycosylation. Mutations in this gene are associated with an increased susceptibility to colorectal cancer.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 297 of the GALNT12 protein (p.Arg297Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs149726976, gnomAD 0.06%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with bilateral breast cancer in addition to primary colorectal cancer (PMID: 19617566, 29749045). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 241518). 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 not expected to disrupt GALNT12 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALNT12 function (PMID: 19617566, 29749045). 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.

The p.R297W variant (also known as c.889C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the GALNT12 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 889. The arginine at codon 297 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. Functional assays performed in yeast indicate that this variant has reduced activity compared to wild type (Guda K et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2009 Aug;106:12921-5). In addition, structural analysis concluded that this alteration occurs between the catalytic A and catalytic B domains and decreases protein structure stability (Hussain MR et al. J. Cell. Biochem. 2014 Feb;115:313-27). However, this alteration was observed in both 1/479 colorectal cases and in 1/400 healthy controls in one study (Evans DR et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 Aug;39(8):1092-1101). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. The evidence for this gene-disease relationship is limited; therefore, the clinical significance of this alteration is unclear.

The GALNT12 c.889C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg297Trp. This variant was reported in a patient with colon and breast cancer (Patient X452, Guda et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19617566) and a patient with colon cancer (Family 1543, Evans et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29749045). However, this variant was also found in a control individual (Evans et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29749045). Functional characterization of this variant showed that it retained only 7% of wild type activity (Guda et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19617566) and in silico analysis predicted a reduction of protein stability (Hussain et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24038392). This variant is reported in 0.056% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and in ClinVar this variant has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity, ranging from uncertain significance to likely benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/241518). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.
