Genes affected

B3GALT6 (HGNC:17978): (beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 6) The enzyme encoded by this intronless gene is a beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase found in the medial Golgi apparatus, where it catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates containing a terminal beta-linked galactose moiety. The encoded enzyme has a particular affinity for galactose-beta-1,4-xylose found in the linker region of glycosamines. This enzyme is required for glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 309 of the B3GALT6 protein (p.Ser309Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (PMID: 23664117, 29931299, 31614862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 60491). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Studies have shown that this missense change alters B3GALT6 gene expression (PMID: 23664117). 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. -
