Is GALT p.Val233Phe (c.697G>T) pathogenic?

GALT p.Val233Phe (c.697G>T) is classified Uncertain significance in GALT (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.8615); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with classic galactosemia.

What condition is associated with GALT p.Val233Phe (c.697G>T)?

GALT p.Val233Phe (c.697G>T) is associated with classic galactosemia (ClinVar).

How common is GALT p.Val233Phe (c.697G>T) in the general population?

GALT p.Val233Phe (c.697G>T) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Classic galactosemia inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about GALT p.Val233Phe (c.697G>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.8615) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
