RCV001000878 | SCV001157959 | likely pathogenic | Deficiency of UDPglucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase | 2018-10-26 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The GALT c.290A>T; p.Asn97Ile variant, to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature or gene specific databases. This variant is also absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The asparagine at codon 97 is highly conserved, is involved in ligand binding (Boutron 2012), and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. Other variants at this codon (c.290A>G, p.Asn97Ser; c.289A>G; p.Asn97Asp) have been reported in individuals with galactosemia and are considered pathogenic (Boutron 2012, Shin 2004). Based on available information, the p.Asn97Ile variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Boutron A et al.
