Genes affected
GALNS (HGNC:4122): (galactosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase) This gene encodes N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase which is a lysosomal exohydrolase required for the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin 6-sulfate. Sequence alterations including point, missense and nonsense mutations, as well as those that affect splicing, result in a deficiency of this enzyme. Deficiencies of this enzyme lead to Morquio A syndrome, a lysosomal storage disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
TRAPPC2L (HGNC:30887): (trafficking protein particle complex subunit 2L) This gene encodes a protein that interacts with the tethering factor trafficking protein particle (TRAPP complex). TRAPP complexes mediate the contact between vescicles and target membranes, and thus, are involved in vescicle-mediated transport of proteins and lipids. The encoded protein is related to the X-linked trafficking protein particle complex 2. A related pseudogene is located on the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

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

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. -

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

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. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: research

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) -

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

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. -
