Description

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 242 of the GALC protein (p.Glu242Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GALC-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The lysine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
