Description

Variant summary: GALT c.598delC (p.Gln200SerfsX19) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (eg. c.610C>T (p.Arg204X) and c.947G>A (p.Trp316X)). The variant was absent in 246258 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.598delC has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Galactosemia (Tyfield_1999). 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. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.

Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln200Serfs*19) in the GALT gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GALT are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22944367). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with classical galactosemia (PMID: 28391442). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25225). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
