Genes affected

GALT (HGNC:4135): (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, namely the conversion of UDP-glucose + galactose-1-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate + UDP-galactose. The absence of this enzyme results in classic galactosemia in humans and can be fatal in the newborn period if lactose is not removed from the diet. The pathophysiology of galactosemia has not been clearly defined. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Variant summary: GALT c.200G>A (p.Arg67His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, N-terminal (IPR005849) of the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251342 control chromosomes. .200G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Galactosemia (Boutron_2012) and a pediatric patient with cataract (Patel_2017). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. A different variant affecting the same codon has been classified as pathogenic by our lab (c.199C>T, p.Arg67Cys), supporting the critical relevance of codon 67 to GALT protein function. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22944367, 27878435). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203733). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 67 of the GALT protein (p.Arg67His). This variant is present in population databases (rs758430398, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactosemia (PMID: 22944367). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203733). 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 GALT protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg67 amino acid residue in GALT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8598637, 11152465, 22944367). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
