Glycogen storage disease type III    Pathogenic:7 
Variant summary: AGL c.4459C>T (p.Arg1487X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein. This variant is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, however variants downstream from this position have been classified pathogenic internally or in ClinVar (CV IDS:1094, 656738). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 250906 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.4459C>T has been reported in the literature in a compound heterozygous individual affected with Glycogen Storage Disease (example: Quackenbush_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31980526, 17994282, 29374762). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 456508). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1487*) in the AGL gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 46 amino acid(s) of the AGL protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs12118058, gnomAD 0.008%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with glycogen storage disease type III (PMID: 29374762). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 456508). This variant disrupts a region of the AGL protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr1510*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8990006, 20071996, 20490926, 23430490). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg1487* variant in the AGL gene has been previously reported in 1 individual with glycogen storage disease III who also carried a pathogenic variant (p.Trp1327*), consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance (Quackenbush et al., 2018). The presence of the p.Arg1487* variant with an established pathogenic variant increases suspicion for its pathogenicity. The p.Arg1487* variant has also been identified in 2/24,946 African/African American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant leads to a premature termination within the last 50 base pairs of the of penultimate exon of AGL. Premature termination at this location is not predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay, increasing the likelihood of an expressed protein. Multiple other reported disease-causing truncating variants, also predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay, are located downstream of this variant. Loss of function is an established mechanism of disease for the AGL gene. These data were assessed using the ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines. In summary, there is sufficient evidence to classify the p.Arg1487* variant as likely pathogenic for glycogen storage disease III in an autosomal recessive manner based on the information above.

Glycogen storage disease    Pathogenic:1 
The p.Arg1487X variant in AGL has been reported in the compound heterozygous sta te in 1 individual with glycogen storage disorder type III (GSDIII; Quackenbush 2016). It has also been identified in 2/24018 African chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs12118058 ), which is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1487. This alteration occurs within the terminal 50 bases of the second to last exon and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and result in a truncated p rotein. Many other truncating variants, which are also predicted to escape NMD a nd located in this region of the AGL gene, have been reported in affected indivi duals with deficient enzyme activity, suggesting that the carboxy terminus is es sential for normal enzyme function (Parvari 1997, Shen 1997, Rousseau-Nepton 201 5, Lu 2016). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully estab lish its clinical significance, the p.Arg1487X variant is likely pathogenic. ACM G/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_Strong, PM3, PP4. -
