Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000175531 SCV000695676 pathogenic Galactosylceramide beta-galactosidase deficiency 2017-01-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The GALC c.205C>T (p.Arg69X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent GALC protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 1/119986 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000083, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GALC variant (0.0022361). The variant was reported in multiple affected individuals in the literature, and was shown to result in <10% GALC activity in a functional study where the variant was expressed in COS1 cells (Saavedra-Matiz_2016). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
Invitae RCV000175531 SCV000950536 pathogenic Galactosylceramide beta-galactosidase deficiency 2023-11-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg69*) 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 present in population databases (rs771111145, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Krabbe disease (PMID: 20886637). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 195020). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
