Mendeliome v0.10224 GALK1 Zornitza Stark Marked gene: GALK1 as ready
Mendeliome v0.10224 GALK1 Zornitza Stark Gene: galk1 has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Mendeliome v0.10215 GALK1 Zornitza Stark Phenotypes for gene: GALK1 were changed from to Galactokinase deficiency with cataracts MIM#230200; Disorders of galactose metabolism
Mendeliome v0.10214 GALK1 Zornitza Stark Publications for gene: GALK1 were set to
Mendeliome v0.10213 GALK1 Zornitza Stark Mode of inheritance for gene: GALK1 was changed from Unknown to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Mendeliome v0.2620 GALM Hazel Phillimore gene: GALM was added
gene: GALM was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: GALM was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: GALM were set to PMID: 30451973; 30910422
Phenotypes for gene: GALM were set to galactosaemia; type IV galactosaemia
Review for gene: GALM was set to GREEN
Added comment: Homozygous and compound heterozygous variants (missense, nonsense and frameshift) found in 8 Japanese patients from unrelated families with unexplained galactosaemia. (No variants in GALT, GALK1, and GALE). This is therefore type IV galactosaemia.
In vitro expression analysis and enzyme activity assay of the patients’ peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed total lack of or compromised expression of GALM protein. Loss-of-function mechanism. One homozygote for one of these variants p.(Gly142Arg) in gnomAD (African population). (Wada, Y. et al 2019; PMID: 30451973)
In vitro expression assay and an enzyme activity assay of 67 GALM variants, taken from ExAc database (missense, nonsense, frameshift and splice). 30 variants concluded to be pathogenic due to no protein expression or faint expression. 5 variants with mildly lower levels were determined as likely pathogenic. All concluded to be loss-of-function mechanism. Incidence of galactosaemia by GALM deficiency is comparable to that of other galactosaemias. Carrier frequency and incidence was estimated for different populations. (Iwasawa, S. et al. (2019); PMID: 30910422)
