Genes affected

GALT (HGNC:4135): (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, namely the conversion of UDP-glucose + galactose-1-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate + UDP-galactose. The absence of this enzyme results in classic galactosemia in humans and can be fatal in the newborn period if lactose is not removed from the diet. The pathophysiology of galactosemia has not been clearly defined. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Individuals that inherit the Duarte 2 variant from one parent and a more severe GALT variant from the other parent are affected with Duarte galactosemia, and typically have milder features of galactosemia (PMID: 25473725; 24718839; 19224951; 10424825). -

It is one of the most prevalent variants in the Indian population. This mutation effect may cause differences in the protein’s physiochemical characteristics that may be disturbed by either stabilizing or destabilizing the protein. Four variants in the GALT gene often occur together on the same chromosome (in cis) as part of a haplotype, which is referred to as the Duarte 2 variant: (c.378-27G>C, c.507+62G>A, c.508-24G>A, c.940A>G) (Kumar S et al., 2020; Klipstein et al., 2003; Lukac-Bajalo et al., 2002; Carney et al., 2009). This variant is reported with the allele frequency (9%) in the gnomAD Exomes. It is submitted to ClinVar with varying interpretations as Pathogenic/ Likely Pathogenic/ Benign/ Likely benign. The amino acid Asparagine at position 314 is changed to a Aspartic Acid changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Benign, SIFT - Tolerated and MutationTaster-Polymorphism) predict no damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The amino acid change p.Asn314Asp in GALT is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. In the absence of another reportable variant, the molecular diagnosis is not confirmed. -
