Invitae RCV000003800 SCV000631393 pathogenic Deficiency of UDPglucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase 2023-12-09 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 171 of the GALT protein (p.Phe171Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033715, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with galactosemia (PMID: 1610789, 18956253, 22944367, 23022339, 27176039). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3616). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GALT protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALT function (PMID: 1610789, 10811638, 23583749). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000003800 SCV000695694 pathogenic Deficiency of UDPglucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase 2016-09-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The GALT c.512T>C (p.Phe171Ser) variant is located in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, N-terminal domain causing a missense change involving a conserved nucleotide with 4/4 in silico tools (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index) predicting a damaging outcome. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 1/121466, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic GALT variant of 1/346. Multiple publications cite the variant in affected individuals as homozygous or compound heterozygous, along with multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories citing the variant as "pathogenic." Therefore, the variant of interest has been classified as Pathogenic.
ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000003800 SCV000885500 pathogenic Deficiency of UDPglucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase 2023-10-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The GALT c.512T>C; p.Phe171Ser variant (rs111033715) is described in several studies to have reduced or a complete loss of enzymatic activity (Crews 2000, McCorvie 2013, Reichardt 1992, Riehman 2001, Wang 1998). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 3616). It is found in the general African American population with a low allele frequency of 0.02% (5/24016 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The phenylalanine at codon 171 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.985). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Crews C et al.

Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 23583749, 23022339, 22944367, 10811638, 10960497, 11152465 and 1610789. Classification of NM_000155.3(GALT):c.512T>C(F171S) is based on the following criteria: This variant has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses and is very rare or not present in genetic databases of healthy individuals. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening.
