Genes affected
GALNS (HGNC:4122): (galactosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase) This gene encodes N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase which is a lysosomal exohydrolase required for the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin 6-sulfate. Sequence alterations including point, missense and nonsense mutations, as well as those that affect splicing, result in a deficiency of this enzyme. Deficiencies of this enzyme lead to Morquio A syndrome, a lysosomal storage disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Mucopolysaccharidosis, MPS-IV-A Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterresearchLaboratory of Diagnosis and Therapy of Lysosomal Disorders, University of PadovaFeb 01, 2021Nonsense variant (PVS1_very strong); in vitro functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene product (low in vitro enzymatic activity; PS3_supporting); the prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls (PS4_strong); very low frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_moderate) -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 09, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln111*) in the GALNS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GALNS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12442278). This variant is present in population databases (rs200374326, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis type IV (PMID: 9375852). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 569803). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Morquio syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 27, 2020Variant summary: GALNS c.331C>T (p.Gln111X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 250768 control chromosomes. c.331C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA (Morquio Syndrome A) and subsequently cited by others (example, Tomatsu_2005, Morrone_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
