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]

The c.1536C>T (p.Phe512=) variant in GAA has not been previously reported in individuals with Glycogen Storage Disease II but has been reported as a VUS by EGL Genetic Diagnostics and a likely benign variant by Invitae and GeneDx in ClinVar (Variation ID: 284111). This variant has been identified in 0.009% (3/34582) of Latino chromosomes and 0.007% (2/30616) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs143491365). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. However, novel synonymous variants supported by computational evidence without raised suspicion for an impact are likely benign (Richards 2015). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely benign. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, BP4, BP7 (Richards 2015). -
