Genes affected
GBE1 (HGNC:4180): (1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a glycogen branching enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of alpha-1,4-linked glucosyl units from the outer end of a glycogen chain to an alpha-1,6 position on the same or a neighboring glycogen chain. Branching of the chains is essential to increase the solubility of the glycogen molecule and, consequently, in reducing the osmotic pressure within cells. Highest level of this enzyme are found in liver and muscle. Mutations in this gene are associated with glycogen storage disease IV (also known as Andersen's disease). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This 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. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: GBE1 c.1492G>A (p.Glu498Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Glycosyl hydrolase, family 13, catalytic domain (IPR006047) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00073 in 240226 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in GBE1 causing Glycogen Storage Disease, Type IV (0.00073 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1492G>A has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype in two individuals affected with Adult onset polyglucosan body disease (APBD) (Naddaf_2016, De Winter_2023) and as a homozygous genotype in at-least one individual affected with Glycogen storage disease type IV (Ersoy_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 548007). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The GBE1 c.1492G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu498Lys. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in a patient with adult polyglucosan body disease (Naddaf et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26789422). Of note, GBE1 exon 12 has previously been reported as a mutation “hotspot” (Moses and Parvari. 2002. PubMed ID: 11949934) and exon 12 mutations have been associated with a wide range of clinical phenotypes (for review, see Li et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20058079). This variant is reported in 0.13% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/3-81627202-C-T) and is interpreted as uncertain by many outside laboratories in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/548007/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:curation

The p.Glu498Lys variant in GBE1 has been reported in 1 individual. in the compound heterozygous state, with adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) (PMID: 26789422) and has been identified in 0.1% (32/24784) of European (Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs201758548). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Glu498Lys variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PP3 (Richards 2015). -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 498 of the GBE1 protein (p.Glu498Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs201758548, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with GBE1-related conditions (PMID: 26789422). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 548007). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GBE1 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
