Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM3PM2PP4_ModeratePVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: This variant, c.172C>T (p.Gln58Ter), is a nonsense variant, predicted to result in nonsense-mediated decay and lack of gene product, meeting PVS1. The variant is not in gnomAD v2.1.1, meeting PM2. This variant was found in compound heterozygosity with a pathogenic variant in two patients who meet the ClinGen LSD VCEP's PP4 specifications; one with c.525delT, confirmed in trans (PMID 10377006), and the other with c.841C>T (p.Arg281Trp), identified in a clinical diagnostic laboratory. This data meets PM3. Of note, pseudodeficiency variants are absent in the latter patient, allowing PP4_Moderate to be applied. Additional patients have been reported but were not included because the residual GAA activity was not provided and therefore PP4 cannot be assessed (PMID 20817528). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188903, 1 star review status) with one submitter classifying the variant as likely pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LSD VCEP: PVS1, PM2, PM3, PP4_Moderate.

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]

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

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln58*) in the GAA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GAA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18425781, 22252923). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with glycogen storage disease (PMID: 10377006). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188903). -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

This variant, c.172C>T (p.Gln58Ter), is a nonsense variant, predicted to result in nonsense-mediated decay and lack of gene product, meeting PVS1. The variant is not in gnomAD v2.1.1, meeting PM2. This variant was found in compound heterozygosity with a pathogenic variant in two patients who meet the ClinGen LSD VCEP's PP4 specifications; one with c.525delT, confirmed in trans (PMID 10377006), and the other with c.841C>T (p.Arg281Trp), identified in a clinical diagnostic laboratory. This data meets PM3. Of note, pseudodeficiency variants are absent in the latter patient, allowing PP4_Moderate to be applied. Additional patients have been reported but were not included because the residual GAA activity was not provided and therefore PP4 cannot be assessed (PMID 20817528). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188903, 1 star review status) with one submitter classifying the variant as likely pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LSD VCEP: PVS1, PM2, PM3, PP4_Moderate. -
