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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 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 11 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-34649553-AC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-34649553-AC-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 193559.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: GALT c.1052delC (p.Pro351LeufsX8) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 246230 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.1052delC, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Galactosemia. These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. 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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro351Leufs*8) in the GALT gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 29 amino acid(s) of the GALT protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs749823588, gnomAD 0.0009%). 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: 193559). 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. -
