Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BP4_Strong BP6 BP7 BS2

The NM_001201402.2(GALC):​c.9G>T​(p.Gly3=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00144 in 1,535,102 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 5 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G3G) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -10 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.85).
• BP6: Variant 14-87993491-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr14-87993491-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 374669.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=1, Uncertain_significance=2}. Variant chr14-87993491-C-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_benign].
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.259 with no splicing effect.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AR gene
