Genes affected

GBA1 (HGNC:4177): (glucosylceramidase beta 1) This gene encodes a lysosomal membrane protein that cleaves the beta-glucosidic linkage of glycosylceramide, an intermediate in glycolipid metabolism. Mutations in this gene cause Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disease characterized by an accumulation of glucocerebrosides. A related pseudogene is approximately 12 kb downstream of this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -20 ACMG points.

• BP4: This position, referring to a specific DNA site, is a probable branch point but is likely benign (scored 2 / 10, using the threshold of <=3). The score ranges from 0 to 10, with values ≤3 considered benign and >5 classified as pathogenic. Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.9).
• BP6: Variant 1-155237596-A-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-155237596-A-T is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 198756.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00863 (1314/152346) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0133 (906/68034). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0126. There are 6 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 636 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as 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.

Variant summary: The GBA c.762-18T>A variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/5 splice prediction tools predict the creation of a non-canonical splice acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 882/111976 control chromosomes (5 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.0078767, which is approximately 2 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GBA variant (0.005), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign.
