Genes affected
GLB1 (HGNC:4298): (galactosidase beta 1) This gene encodes a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 35 family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature lysosomal enzyme. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of a terminal beta-linked galactose residue from ganglioside substrates and other glycoconjugates. Mutations in this gene may result in GM1-gangliosidosis and Morquio B syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

The observed stop gained c.1369C>Tp.Arg457Ter variant in GLB1 gene has been reported previously in homozygous and compound heterozygous states in multiple individuals affected with GM1 gangliosidosis Fu F, et al., 2018; Bidchol AM, et al., 2015; Santamaria R, et al., 2007. The c.1369C>T variant is present with allele frequency of 0.002% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic multiple submissions. Computational evidence MutationTaster - Disease causing predicts damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant.The nucleotide change c.1369C>T in GLB1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal p.Arg457Ter in the GLB1 gene. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants in GLB1 gene have been previously reported to be disease causing Brunetti-Pierri N, Scaglia F., 2008. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg457*) in the GLB1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GLB1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18524657). This variant is present in population databases (rs72555359, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with GM1 gangliosidosis (PMID: 1909089, 25936995, 28976722, 30548430). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 924). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

GM1 gangliosidosis Pathogenic:1

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: GLB1 c.1369C>T (p.Arg457X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 249532 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1369C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GM1 gangliosidosis (e.g. Nishimoto_1991, Santamaria_2007, Matalonga_2015). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Cells expressing the variant were shown to have indetectable levels of acid beta-galactosidase enzymatic activity (Nishimoto_1991). One Clin Var submitter (evaluation after 2014 ) cited the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The stop gained c.1369C>T (p.Arg457Ter) variant in GLB1 gene has been reported previously in homozygous and compound heterozygous states in multiple individuals affected with GM1 gangliosidosis (Fu et al., 2018; Bidchol et al., 2015; Santamaria et al., 2007). Experimental studies showed that cells expressing the variant had indetectable levels of acid beta-galactosidase enzymatic activity (Nishimoto, 1991). The c.1369C>T variant is present with allele frequency of 0.002% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submissions). Computational evidence (MutationTaster - Disease causing) predicts damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant.
