Is GALC p.Pro142= (c.426C>T) pathogenic?

GALC p.Pro142= (c.426C>T) is classified Likely benign in GALC (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-02-20). Very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas); Associated with Krabbe disease.

What condition is associated with GALC p.Pro142= (c.426C>T)?

GALC p.Pro142= (c.426C>T) is associated with Krabbe disease (ClinVar).

How common is GALC p.Pro142= (c.426C>T) in the general population?

GALC p.Pro142= (c.426C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Krabbe disease inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
