Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM2 PP3_Strong

The NM_000155.4(GALT):​c.902A>G​(p.His301Arg) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,461,686 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).

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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Dec 07, 2016	Variant summary: The GALT c.902A>G (p.His301Arg) variant located in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, C-terminal domain (via InterPro) causes a missense change involving a conserved nucleotide, which 4/4 in silico tools (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index) predict a damaging outcome, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant is located in the C-terminal HIT-like domain, and specifically the iron-binding site (Glu182, His281, His299, His301) has been suggested to stabilize the structure of the protein (PMID: 10529216). However, this missense change has not been evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. This variant was not observed in controls (ExAC, 1000 Gs, or ESP). A publication cites the variant with limited information (ie lack of phenotypic, co-occurrence and cosegregation data) but classifies the variant as a "variant of uncertain significance," which is from the same clinical diagnostic laboratory that cites the variant. Therefore, until additional information becomes available (ie, clinical and functional studies), the variant of interest has been classified as a "Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)." -
