Clinical & Population Data
Population Frequency
gnomADClinVar
OpenThis alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 101 of the GALNT12 protein (p.His101Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs201926457, gnomAD 0.04%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 29749045, 33193653). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 410580). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GALNT12 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GALNT12 function (PMID: 29749045). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
"This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (2 clinical laboratories) and as Benign (1 clinical laboratories) and as Likely benign (1 clinical laboratories)."

VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Null variant in a gene where loss of function (LoF) is a known mechanism of disease (e.g., nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single-exon deletion in a LoF gene)". The evidence for this variant shows: NM_024642.5:c.303C>G is a missense change (p.H101Q), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant is not a null variant.
PS1 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant but different nucleotide change". The evidence for this variant shows: there is no report of the same amino acid change (H101Q) at this codon being established as pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of evidence of a known pathogenic match.
PS2 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history". The evidence for this variant shows: there are no data on de novo occurrence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to absence of de novo confirmation.
PS3 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Well-established functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional characterization has been performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of functional study data.
PS4 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Prevalence in affected individuals significantly increased compared with controls". The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or segregation data in affected individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to absence of prevalence data.
PM1 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Located in a mutational hot spot or well-established functional domain without benign variation". The evidence for this variant shows: p.H101Q is not within a recognized mutational hotspot or critical functional domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2 (Moderate)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive)". The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0.0146% in gnomAD (27/184,410 alleles), with no homozygotes. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is extremely rare in population databases.
PM3 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant for recessive disorders". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on trans occurrences with another pathogenic variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows: c.303C>G is a missense change without protein length alteration. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen". The evidence for this variant shows: no other pathogenic missense change reported at residue H101. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM6 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows: no familial segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "Missense variant in a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease". The evidence for this variant shows: insufficient evidence that GALNT12 has low benign missense variation or that missense is a common mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene/gene product (e.g., conservation, splicing impact)". The evidence for this variant shows: in silico predictions are mixed and REVEL score is 0.36; SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to conflicting computational evidence.
PP4 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Patient’s phenotype or family history highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology". The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotype or specific family history provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar submissions include uncertain, benign, and likely benign classifications, with no reputable pathogenic assertion. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Allele frequency too high for the disorder (based on population data)". The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0.0146%, well below the >5% threshold. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder". The evidence for this variant shows: frequency is low and no known disease prevalence thresholds exceeded. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Observed in a healthy adult individual for a dominant (with full penetrance expected at an early age), X-linked or mitochondrial disorder with full penetrance expected at an early age". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on healthy adult observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional assays performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS4 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "Lack of segregation in affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation studies available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP1 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "Missense variant in a gene where only loss-of-function causes disease". The evidence for this variant shows: mechanism of disease for GALNT12 is not established as solely loss-of-function. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a dominant disorder or in cis with a pathogenic variant". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on cis/trans phase with other variants. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP3 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: "In-frame deletions/insertions in a repetitive region without known function". The evidence for this variant shows: this is a single-nucleotide missense variant, not an in-frame indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP4 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)". The evidence for this variant shows: in silico predictors are mixed but overall REVEL score is 0.36 (below pathogenic threshold) and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because computational data trend toward benign.
BP5 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease". The evidence for this variant shows: no cases reported with alternate molecular diagnoses. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP6 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: "Reputable source reports variant as benign, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar submissions include conflicting interpretations (benign, likely benign, uncertain) without a clear, single reputable benign report. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP7 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: "Synonymous variant with no predicted impact on splicing". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense, not synonymous. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
