Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000152.5(GAA):​c.2015G>T​(p.Arg672Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R672Q) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected
GAA (HGNC:4065): (alpha glucosidase) This gene encodes lysosomal alpha-glucosidase, which is essential for the degradation of glycogen to glucose in lysosomes. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple intermediate forms and the mature form of the enzyme. Defects in this gene are the cause of glycogen storage disease II, also known as Pompe's disease, which is an autosomal recessive disorder with a broad clinical spectrum. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points.

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr17-80113002-G-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 371126.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 201 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 50 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -0.63308 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.32889 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to glycogen storage disease due to acid maltase deficiency, infantile onset, glycogen storage disease II, glycogen storage disease due to acid maltase deficiency, late-onset.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
PP5
Variant 17-80113002-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-80113002-G-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2675756.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

The NM_000152.5:c.2015G>T variant in GAA is a missense variant that results in the substitution of an arginine for a leucine at amino acid 672 (p.Arg672Leu). One Indian patient with late onset Pompe disease has been reported, with <1% normal GAA activity in skin fibroblasts, and muscle histology consistent with the condition (PMID: 33741225) (PP4_Moderate). This individual is compound heterozygous for the variant and another variant in GAA that has been classified as likely pathogenic for Pompe disease by the ClinGen LD VCEP, c.2783A>G (p.Tyr928Cys); phase unconfirmed (0.25 points) (Insufficient to apply PM3). The variant is absent in gnomAD v4.1.0. (PM2_Supporting). Two other variants at the same amino acid position have been classified as pathogenic (c.2014C>T, p.Arg672Trp, ClinVar Variation ID: 188773) or likely pathogenic (c.2015G>A p.Arg672Gln, ClinVar Variation ID: 371126) for Pompe disease by the ClinGen LD VCEP (PM5). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.955 which is above the threshold of 0.7, evidence that correlates with impact to GAA function (PP3). SpliceAI predicts no impact on splicing. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2675756) with one submitter classifying the variant as pathogenic. In summary, these variant meets the criteria to be classified a likely pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LD VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0.0.): PM5, PP4_Moderate, PP3, PM2_Supporting (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel, August 31, 2025)
