Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PP4_ModeratePM5PM3PP3PM2_Supporting
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5:c.1841C>T variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of threonine by methionine at amino acid 614 (p.Thr614Met). At least 2 patients with this variant had documented GAA deficiency with <10% of normal mean control level of GAA activity in leukocytes (PP4_Moderate). This variant has been detected in at least 3 individuals with Pompe disease. Of those individuals, 1 was compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic variant (PMID:33741225). At least 2 individuals were homozygous for the variant (PMID:33301762, 33741225, 33250842) (PM3). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00004184 (1/23902 alleles) in the African/African-American population, which is lower than the ClinGen LSD VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). To our knowledge, the results of functional assays have not been reported for this variant. The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.769 which is above the threshold of 0.7, evidence that correlates with impact to GAA function (PP3). Another missense variant, c.1841C>A (p.Thr614Lys) (ClinVar Variation ID: 167113), in the same codon has been classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease by the ClinGen LSD VCEP (PM5). Splicing prediction using Splice AI revealed no expected effects on splicing due to either of these variants. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 286469, 1 star review status) with 3 submitters classifying the variant as uncertain significance, 2 submitters as likely pathogenic, and 1 submitter as pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for Pompe disease based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Storage Disorders Variant Curation Expert panel (specifications Version 2.0): PP4_Moderate, PP3, PM3, PM5, PM2_Supporting LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA8815496/MONDO:0009290/010

The variant c.1841C>T has been reported by Nallamilli et. al. 2018 PMID:30564623 -
The GAA c.1841C>T; p.Thr614Met variant (rs369531647) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Pompe disease, one individual carried a second GAA variant, and several individuals were homozygous for p.Thr614Met (Chakravorty 2020, Puri 2021, Thomas 2021). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 286469). This variant is only observed on four alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Additionally, other variants at this codon (c.1841C>A, p.Thr614Lys) have been reported in individuals with Pompe disease and are considered pathogenic (Kroos 2008, Reddy 2017). Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.769). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Chakravorty S et al.

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 614 of the GAA protein (p.Thr614Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs369531647, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with late onset Pompe disease (PMID: 33250842, 33741225). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 286469). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GAA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Thr614 amino acid residue in GAA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21484825, 24513544, 24590251, 27708273). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: GAA c.1841C>T (p.Thr614Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in 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 8.2e-06 in 244678 control chromosomes. c.1841C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Glycogen Storage Disease, Type 2 (Pompe Disease, Chakravorty_2020, Puri_2021). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (Puri_2021). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (pathogenic/likely pathogenic n=3, VUS n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33301762, 19343043, 22253258, 33250842, 38444573, 33741225, 38250073) -

The p.Thr614Met variant in GAA has been previously reported in reported in three glycogen storage disease II (GSD2 aka Pompe disease) patients (Chakravorty 2020 PMID: 33250842, Puri 2021 PMID: 33741225), two of whom were homozygous for the variant and one was compound heterozygous with a loss of function variant. The variant was present in 0.01% (5/41458) of African/African American chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitue.org); however this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive allele frequency. The variant has also been reported in ClinVar (ClinVar ID 286469). In vitro studies from whole blood leukocytes of patients with the variants indicate that the variant impacts enzyme activity (Puri 2021 PMID: 33741225). In addition, computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Another variant involving this codon (p.Thr614Lys) has been reported as pathogenic by the ClinGen Lysosomal Storage Variant Curation Expert Panel (ClinVar ID 167113). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive glycogen storage disease II.
