PGM1

protein-coding

phosphoglucomutase 1

Gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of phosphoglucomutase (PGM) and belongs to the phosphohexose mutase family. There are several PGM isozymes, which are encoded by different genes and catalyze the transfer of phosphate between the 1 and 6 positions of glucose. In most cell types, this PGM isozyme is predominant, representing about 90% of total PGM activity. In red cells, PGM2 is a major isozyme. This gene is highly polymorphic. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 14. Alternativley spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

The relationship between *PGM1* and PGM1-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (Congenital disorder of glycosylation, type It included), an autosomal recessive disorder, was evaluated using the ClinGen Clinical Validity Framework as of June, 2023. *PGM1* encodes phosphoglucomutase 1, the predominant PGM isoform in most cell types, contributing to 90% of total PGM activity, except red blood cells, wherein PGM2 is the major isoform, and the brain. Redundancy of PGM1 activity in the brain correlates well with the absence of neurological phenotypes in patients with PGM1 deficiency. The primary role of phosphoglucomutase 1 is to catalyze the interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate, and it is involved in several crucial metabolic pathways including glycolysis, glycogenolysis, glycogenesis and N-linked glycosylation (PMID: 24499211, 28794993). The clinical manifestations of PGM1-congenital disorder of glycosylation (PGM1-CDG) include bifid uvula, myopathy, hepatopathy, short stature, hypoglycemia and dilated cardiomyopathy. *PGM1* was first reported in relation to autosomal recessive PGM1-CDG in 2009 (Stojkovic et al, 2009; PMID: 19625727). More than 30 nonsense, splice site, frameshift, deletion/duplication and missense variants have been reported in humans. Evidence supporting this gene-disease relationship includes case-level data and experimental data. Summary of Case Level Data (12 points): Variants in this gene have been reported in at least 8 probands in 2 publication (PMID: 19625727, 24499211). More evidence is available in the literature, but the maximum score for genetic evidence was reached. The mechanism for disease is biallelic loss of function. Summary of experimental data (6 points): This gene-disease relationship is supported by in vitro functional studies, model organisms and rescue evidence. The function of *PGM1* is well understood and the onset of symptoms is associated with defects in glycosylation, which can be rescued to an extent by supplementing with galactose (PMID: 24499211, 28794993). Constitutive knock-out of *Pgm2*, the mouse ortholog of human *PGM1*, leads to embryonic lethality (PMID: 31077402). Cardiomyocyte-specific conditional knock-out of *Pgm2* in mice recapitulates the human dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype seen in some patients with PGM1-CDG (PMID: 36709920). The defect in cKO mice is rescued when AAV-mediated WT *Pgm2* is introduced into the affected animals (PMID: 36709920). In summary, *PGM1* is definitively associated with autosomal recessive PGM1-CDG. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both the research and clinical diagnostic settings, and has been upheld over time. This classification was approved by the Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation GCEP on August 2nd, 2023.

Rationale: Treatment with galactose has been described as beneficial (including related to individuals with reported hypogonadotropic hypogonadism as well as parameters related to hepatic function); Individuals may have exercise-induced intolerance with episodic rhabdomyolysis, and precautions may decrease associated morbidity; Individuals have been described with dilated cardiomyopathy, and surveillance may allow early medical management; Awareness of coagulopathies may be beneficial in terms of medical management, especially in situations such as surgery; Hepatic-metabolized agents should be avoided; Cardiac transplant has been described

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_002633.3. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Disease
DISEASE: Congenital disorder of glycosylation 1T (CDG1T) [MIM:614921]: A form of congenital disorder of glycosylation, a multisystem disorder caused by a defect in glycoprotein biosynthesis and characterized by under-glycosylated serum glycoproteins. Congenital disorders of glycosylation result in a wide variety of clinical features, such as defects in the nervous system development, psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, coagulation disorders, and immunodeficiency. The broad spectrum of features reflects the critical role of N-glycoproteins during embryonic development, differentiation, and maintenance of cell functions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19625727, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22492991, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22976764, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24499211, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25288802, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26972339}.
