The NM_000512.5(GALNS):c.107T>G(p.Leu36Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000288 in 1,387,354 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L36P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Mucopolysaccharidosis, MPS-IV-A Pathogenic:4
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 36 of the GALNS protein (p.Leu36Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs755832705, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (PMID: 24726177, 25252036; Invitae). 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: 528320). 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 GALNS protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Same or different nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000528320, PMID:24726177). Different pathogenic/likely pathogenic amino acid change has been reported with supporting evidence at the same codon (PMID:16287098). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.977>=0.6, 3CNET: 0.791>=0.75). The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.0000260). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
In vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene product (low to null enzymatic activity in homozygotes; PS3_moderate); the prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls (PS4_strong); very low frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_moderate); multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene (PP3_supporting) -
The missense c.107T>G(p.Leu36Arg) variant in GALNS gene has been reported in homozygous/ heterozygous/ heterozygous carrier state in individuals affected with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Bidchol AM, et. al., 2014; Morrone A, et. al., 2014). Experimental studies showed damaging effect on the gene product (Caciotti A, et. al., 2015; Zanetti A, et. al., 2021). This variant is present with an allele frequency of 0.003% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Likely pathogenic (multiple submissions). Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Probably Damaging, SIFT - Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing) predict damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The reference amino acid at this position in GALNS is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Leu at position 36 is changed to a Arg changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
