Description

Loss-of-function variants in GALC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7437911, 9272171, 16607461). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GALC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370842). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met325*) in the GALC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product.
