Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000152.5(GAA):c.309C>G(p.Cys103Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000685 in 1,460,216 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C103G) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Glycogen storage disease, type II Pathogenic:2
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Cys103 amino acid residue in GAA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 14695532, 18429042, 18607768, 21109266, 24158270, 29181627). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GAA protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1400946). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Pompe disease (PMID: 27142047). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 103 of the GAA protein (p.Cys103Trp). -
Variant summary: GAA c.309C>G (p.Cys103Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the P or trefoil or TFF domain (IPR000519) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 247572 control chromosomes. c.309C>G has been reported in the literature in a compound heterozygous individual affected with Glycogen Storage Disease, Type 2 (Pompe Disease) (Mori_2016). A different variant affecting the same codon has been classified as pathogenic by our lab (c.307T>G, p.Cys103Gly), supporting the critical relevance of codon 103 to GAA protein function. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (de Faria_2021). The most pronounced variant effect results in 2-3% of normal activity in an in vitro cellular assay. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27142047, 33560568). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1400946). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
