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]

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. This variant disrupts the p.Glu130 amino acid residue in GALC. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17579360, 20886637, 23620143, 27638593). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GALC-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs374635469, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 130 of the GALC protein (p.Glu130Gln). -
