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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 12 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-34649552-CA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-34649552-CA-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 370881.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Deficiency of UDPglucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Oct 03, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr350Profs*9) in the GALT gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 30 amino acid(s) of the GALT protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs775762045, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GALT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370881). This variant disrupts a region of the GALT protein in which other variant(s) (p.Glu363Lys) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21150919, 30718057). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
