Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BA1BP4BP7

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000156.6:c.279C>T (p.Asp93=) is a synonymous variant in GAMT that is predicted to not impact splicing by SpliceAI and VarSeak, and the nucleotide is not highly conserved (BP4, BP7). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00484 (87/17976 alleles) in the East Asian population, which is higher than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for BA1 (>0.003), and therefore meets this criterion (BA1). This variant does not appear to have been previously reported in the published literature. It is noted in ClinVar (Variation ID 137434). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as benign for GAMT deficiency. GAMT-specific ACMG/AMP codes met, as specified by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP (Specifications Version 1.1.0): BA1, BP4, BP7.(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]

Benign, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGenJun 06, 2022The NM_000156.6:c.279C>T (p.Asp93=) is a synonymous variant in GAMT that is predicted to not impact splicing by SpliceAI and VarSeak, and the nucleotide is not highly conserved (BP4, BP7).

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
Inborn genetic diseases Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 29, 2016This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
