Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000153.4(GALC):​c.599C>A​(p.Ser200*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000014 in 1,430,906 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 (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

GALC (HGNC:4115): (galactosylceramidase) This gene encodes a lysosomal protein which hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Krabbe disease, also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 14-87982227-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-87982227-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 189003.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Galactosylceramide beta-galactosidase deficiency Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Sep 08, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser200*) in the GALC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GALC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7437911, 9272171, 16607461). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Krabbe disease (PMID: 23462331). 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: 189003). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
