Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_000153.4(GALC):​c.1592G>T​(p.Arg531Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,458,312 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R531P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_000153.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr14-87945631-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 623356.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 94 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 16 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.18582 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.28853 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Krabbe disease.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.949
• PP5: Variant 14-87945631-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-87945631-C-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 1345348.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

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. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 531 of the GALC protein (p.Arg531Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GALC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1345348). This variant disrupts the p.Arg531 amino acid residue in GALC. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9338580, 17824908, 27638593, 30777126). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
