Genes affected

GLA (HGNC:4296): (galactosidase alpha) This gene encodes a homodimeric glycoprotein that hydrolyses the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. This enzyme predominantly hydrolyzes ceramide trihexoside, and it can catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose. A variety of mutations in this gene affect the synthesis, processing, and stability of this enzyme, which causes Fabry disease, a rare lysosomal storage disorder that results from a failure to catabolize alpha-D-galactosyl glycolipid moieties.

RPL36A-HNRNPH2 (HGNC:48349): (RPL36A-HNRNPH2 readthrough) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring ribosomal protein L36a and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (H') genes on chromosome X. The read-through transcript produces a protein with similarity to the protein encoded by the upstream locus, ribosomal protein L36a. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 47 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-101397907-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-101397907-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 10745.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Variant summary: The GLA c.1192G>T (p.Glu398X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated (lacking 32 AA residues of the C terminus) or absent GLA protein due to nonsense mediated decay. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant is absent in 87740 control chromosomes. This variant has been reported to manifest a classical phenotype (Eng_AJHM_1993). Miyamura_JCI_1996 showed that deletions of 12 or more AA residues in the C-terminal region resulted in a complete loss of enzyme activity, indicating the functional importance of the C-terminal region. In addition, OMIM and HGMD classified this variant as pathogenic/DM (disease mutation). Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Collection Method: curation

GLA p.Glu398Ter (c.1192G>T) is a nonsense variant that introduces a premature stop codon at amino acid position 397, creating a truncated protein. This variant has been observed in at least one proband affected with Fabry disease (PMID:29950951;28507907;7504405;33022387). Functional studies have been reported; however, the significance of the findings remain unclear and/or they were performed in patient cells (PMID:33022387). It is absent or not present at a significant frequency in gnomAD. In conclusion, we classify GLA p.Glu398Ter (c.1192G>T) as a pathogenic variant.
