Genes affected
AGL (HGNC:321): (amylo-alpha-1, 6-glucosidase, 4-alpha-glucanotransferase) This gene encodes the glycogen debrancher enzyme which is involved in glycogen degradation. This enzyme has two independent catalytic activities which occur at different sites on the protein: a 4-alpha-glucotransferase activity and a amylo-1,6-glucosidase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with glycogen storage disease although a wide range of enzymatic and clinical variability occurs which may be due to tissue-specific alternative splicing. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: AGL c.4221dupA (p.Leu1408IlefsX14) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251128 control chromosomes. c.4221dupA has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual affected with Glycogen Storage Disease Type III and subsequently cited by others (example, Pavari_1998, Fukuda_2000). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in absence of normal leukocyte debrancher enzyme activity in a sample obtained from a patient who was compound heterozygous for this variant and another frameshifting mutation in the AGL gene (Pavari_1998). Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic with one citing overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1408Ilefs*14) in the AGL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AGL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19299494). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with glycogen storage disease (PMID: 9584265). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189052). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
