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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg127*) in the GALC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GALC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7437911, 9272171, 16607461). This variant is present in population databases (rs200532368, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive Krabbe disease (PMID: 20886637, 21824559, 27638593). This variant is also known as p.R111X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429982). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: The c.379C>T (p.Arg127*) variant in GALC gene is a nonsense mutation. The mutation is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The variant has been reported in several affected individuals presented with infantile form of Krabbe via published reports. The variant was observed in the large and broad cohorts of the ExAC project at an allele frequency of 0.0032% exclusively in individuals of European descent (0.06%). This frequency does not exceed the maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in GALC gene (0.22%). Taken together, the variant was classified as Pathogenic. -
