Entire Gene Large Deletion Pathogenic Papachristoforou et. al. 2013
This large continuous deletion was the main mutation detected in Cyriot (Cyprus, Greece) patients presenting with classical galactosemia. This deletion spans 8489 bp and affects the entire GALT gene and non-translated regions of the adjacent gene coding for interleukin 11 receptor ( IL11RA). In addition to classic galactosemia, patients homozygous for this deletion presented with craniosynostosis (a phenotype associated with IL11RA gene defects), and one patient presented with microcephaly and optical atrophy. Two patients who were homozygous for this genotype had no GALT enzyme activity and a third had residual activity (5.9 micromol/h/g Hb). Three patients were heterozygous for this large deletion and p.K285N (neurological impact of galactosemia in these patients ranged from normal to severe learning disability as diagnosis and intervention was delayed).

5'UTR c.-119_-116del Mild Kozak (1999)

Biochemistry 37(41):14500-7; Lai et al. 1999. J Biol Chem 274(10):6559-66). Impact of this mutation on galactose conversion was studied by Berry et al. 2000. Pediatr Res.48(3):323-8.

Intron 8 Splice Site c.820+13A>G p.D274Gfs*17 Pathogenic Rivera et al. (2014 submitted)
This variant was first reported by Kozak et al (1999). New study by Rivera el al (submitted in 2014) describes a Caucasian aldult male of Portuguese descent that was homozygous for c.820+13A>G. As a neonate, patient presented with jaundice, persisting vomiting, hepatomegaly and high levels of liver enzymes. At 1-month of age patient was diagnozed with galactosemia due to absent GALT enzyme activity. Minigene splicing assays in two distinct cell lines (HeLa and COS-7) and patient's transcript analyses showed that the c.820+13A>G mutation activates a cryptic donor splice site (c.820+14_820+15), inducing an aberrant splicing of the GALT pre-mRNA, which in turn leads to a frameshift with inclusion of a premature stop codon (p.D274Gfs*17). Functional-structural studies of the recombinant wild-type and truncated GALT showed that the latter is devoid of enzymatic activity and prone to aggregation (information was provided by personal communication with Dr. Rivera from the University of Lisbon). iarivera@ff.ul.pt

Referred to as the Duarte variant. When p.N314D occurs in cis with p.L218L it is referred to as Duarte 1 variant, usually causing an increase in enzyme activity. When this variant is present in cis with c.-119_-116del and intronic polymorphisms c.378-27G>C, c.507+62G>A, c.508-24G>A it is also referred to as the Duarte 2 variant.

Ecuadorian patient presented an abnormal level of total galactose in blood of 13.03 mg/dl (the reference for 0 to 1 month is <7.2mg/dl), thus confirming a galactosemia diagnosis. The c.82+3A>G was in homozygosis. The c.82+3A>G variation is located next to the canonical donor signal of intron 1, therefore, to look for a possible effect on the splicing process the integrated software ALAMUT V.2.0 was used. The five algorithms used to evaluate the effect of the c.82+3A>G mutation showed a reduction of the score of the natural donor splice site (7.53 for the wild-type sequence vs 5.33 for the new sequence), probably inducing the use of an alternative donor site in intron 1. A modification of ESE patterns was also predicted by increasing the score for the Srp40 element. Therefore, the c.82+3A>G alteration may be considered as a pathogenic variant.

3'UTR c.1140+203C>T Benign Calderon et al, unpublished
This variant, suspected to be benign, was detected in a male patient heterozygous for p.D98N and p.Q188R. Caucasian female was heterozygous for this variant (possibly a polymorphism?). Another female patient with no symptoms was heterozygous for this variation and p.Q188R.
3'UTR c.*8G>A Uncertain Calderon et al, unpublished
Female with abnormal NBS and no clinical symptoms was homozygous for c.*8G>A. Enzyme activity was 10.1 µmol/h/Hgb.
3'UTR c.*111A>G No Effect? Calderon et al, unpublished
Female with abnormal NBS was heterozygous for c.*111A>G. Patient received a blood transfusion 3 days after birth and presented no clinical symptoms. Enzyme activity was reported to be low (outside lab)
3'UTR c.*147A>G Benign Calderon et al, unpublished
Female with abnormal NBS was heterozygous for c.1140+147A>G. Patient was on lactose-free diet and had no family history of galactosemia. GAL-1P was 0.3mg/dL and enzyme activity was 26.4 µmol/h/gHgb. Outside lab reported low to normal enzyme activity.
