Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 1P and 1B. PM2_SupportingBP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000156.6: c.677C>T variant in GAMT is a missense variant predicted to result in the substitution of proline for leucine at amino acid 226 (p.Pro226Leu). It is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.292 which is below the threshold of 0.5, evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on GAMT function (BP4). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in published literature in individuals with GAMT deficiency, and the results of functional studies are unavailable. This variant has been previously reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 205594). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significancefor GAMT deficiency. GAMT-specific ACMG/AMP codes met, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP (Specifications Version 1.1.0): PM2_Supporting, BP4.(Classification approved by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP on June 6, 2022).

Genes affected
GAMT (HGNC:4136): (guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase) The protein encoded by this gene is a methyltransferase that converts guanidoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor. Defects in this gene have been implicated in neurologic syndromes and muscular hypotonia, probably due to creatine deficiency and accumulation of guanidinoacetate in the brain of affected individuals. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 2 and 13. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 14, 2012p.Pro226Leu (CCA>CTA): c.677 C>T in exon 6 of the GAMT gene (NM_000156.4) The Pro226Leu missense change has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Project has not identified Pro226Leu in approximately 5,000 individuals of European or African American ethnicity, indicating that it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Although both Proline and Leucine are uncharged, non-polar amino acids, the loss of a bulky Proline residue may alter the secondary structure of the protein. However, Pro226Leu alters a position that is not highly conserved in the GAMT protein or in related proteins. Several in silico models predict that Pro226Leu may be benign, while another suggests this variant may be damaging to protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether Pro226Leu is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in INFANT-EPI panel(s). -
