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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 26, 2024	This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 681 of the GALC protein (p.Val681Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs200607029, gnomAD 0.1%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Krabbe disease (PMID: 23462331, 31885218). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208291). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GALC protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: GALC c.2041G>A (p.Val681Met) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00019 in 248920 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in GALC causing Krabbe Disease (0.00019 vs 0.0022), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2041G>A has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype in two individuals affected with adult onset presentations of Krabbe Disease (example, Yang_2013, Xie_2020) and one case of Krabbe Diasese diagnosed at newborn screening (Li_2022). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Saavendra-Matiz_2016). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant in isolation but when associated in cis with a different variant, namely p.I546T, a "haplotype effect" was observed such that the construct bearing p.V665M+p.I546T in cis demonstrated GALC enzyme activity of approximately 30% of normal WT levels. This variant is characterized as a mild allele when in cis with p.I546T. Lastly, the presence of this co-occurring allele in the three ascertained cases mentioned above cannot be unequivocally ruled out. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35419325, 27638593, 31885218, 23462331). Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic (n=4) and VUS (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant in isolation was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

The c.2041G>A (p.V681M) alteration is located in exon 17 (coding exon 17) of the GALC gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2041, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 681 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
