Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BA1BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000156.6(GAMT):c.581T>C variant in GAMT is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of valine by alanine at amino acid 194 (p.Val194Ala). Population allele frequency of this variant is higher than 0.3% in two populations in gnomAD v2.1.1 (BA1 met). In silico predictors predict no damaging effect (REVEL<0.5) and no effect on splicing (SpliceAI<0.05; varSEAK - class 1). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in any individuals with GAMT deficiency. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Benign for GAMT deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 1.0): BA1, BP4.

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 testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
