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]

Variant summary: GALC c.251A>G (p.Asp84Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the catalytic domain (IPR049161) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 249240 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.251A>G has been reported in the literature in at least one individual identified through newborn screening as being at low or moderate risk of developing Krabbe disease based on GALC activity levels, who harbored a pathogenic variant in trans (e.g., Orsini_2016). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Krabbe Disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (e.g., Saavedra-Martiz_2016). The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal GALC activity. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26795590, 27638593). Two submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
