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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	literature only	Counsyl	Mar 31, 2014	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 22, 2023	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 286 of the GALC protein (p.Gly286Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs199847983, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive GALC-related condition (PMID: 9272171, 10477434, 20886637, 23430802, 27780934, 28547031, 28600779). This variant is also known as G270D. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30619). 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 GALC protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALC function (PMID: 9272171, 25956830, 26865610, 27126738, 27638593). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute	Mar 31, 2022	Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Krabbe disease (MIM#245200). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from glycine to aspartic acid. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v2: 5 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated Glycosyl hydrolase family 59 domain (DECIPHER). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. The variant has been previously reported as pathogenic in multiple individuals with Krabbe disease (ClinVar, PMID: 20886637 and PMID: 24252386). (SP) 1001 - This variant has strong functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. GALC enzymatic activity was shown to be reduced in patient cells. (PMID: 20886637 and PMID: 24252386). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 13, 2016	Variant summary: The GALC c.857G>A (p.Gly286Asp) variant causes a missense change involving a conserved nucleotide with 3/4 in silico tools (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index) predicting a "damaging" outcome. This variant was found in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 4/120630 (1/30120, frequency: 0.0000332), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic GALC variant of 1/447 (0.0022361). The variant of interest has been reported in multiple affected individuals via publications that also show a significant decrease in GALC activity. Authors do suggest the variant of interest to be associated with a juvenile/mild form of Krabbe disease due to multiple individuals being diagnosed at a later stage in life (~60 years old) (Furuya_1997 and Tappino_2010). Multiple databases/clinical laboratories cite the variant as "likely pathogenic/pathogenic." Therefore, taking all available lines of evidence into consideration, the variant of interest is classified as Pathogenic. -
