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]

In vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene product (low to null enzymatic activity in homozygotes; PS3_strong); 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) -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 287 of the GALNS protein (p.Ser287Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs770053354, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis IV type A (PMID: 9298823, 15235041, 16287098, 23876334, 25252036, 29731656). 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: 265169). 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. -

The missense c.860C>T (p.Ser287Leu) variant in the GALNS gene has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis IV type A (Tomatsu, Shunji et al., 2005). Mapping of the p.Ser287Leu variant to the X-ray crystallography structure of the GALNS protein found that this variant is buried within the protein and likely results in loss of proper hydrogen bonding (Rivera-Colon et al., 2012). This variant is reported with the allele frequency (0.001%) in the gnomAD Exomes and novel in 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submissions). The amino acid Serine at position 287 is changed to a Leucine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted as damaging by SIFT. The amino acid change p.Ser287Leu in GALNS is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The S287L missense variant has been reported previously in association with MPS IVA in a patient with a severe MPS IVA phenotype who was homozygous for the S287L variant (Bunge et al., 1997). Mapping of the S287L variant to the X-ray crystallography structure of the GALNS protein found that this variant is buried within the protein and likely results in loss of proper hydrogen bonding (Rivera-Colon et al., 2012). Furthermore, S287L is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which occurs at a position that is highly conserved across species, and missense variants in nearby residues (F284V, N289D, N289S, G290R, G290S) have also been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with MPS IVA (Stenson et al., 2014), further supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Therefore, we interpret S287L to be a pathogenic variant. -

The p.Ser287Leu variant in GALNS has been reported in at least 2 homozygous and 2 compound heterozygous individuals with severe mucopolysaccharidosis IVa (Bunge 1997 PMID: 9298823, Tuysuz 2019 PMID: 30980944, Zanetti 2020 PMID: 32036093). It has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 265169) and identified in 1/41450 African chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Mapping of the variant to the X-ray crystallography structure of the GALNS protein found that this variant is buried within the protein and likely results in loss of proper hydrogen bonding (Rivera-Colon 2012 PMID: 22940367). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as Likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive mucopolysaccharidosis IVa. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PP3, PS3_Supporting, PP4. -
