Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PS1_Moderate PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000169.3(GLA):​c.132G>C​(p.Trp44Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. W44G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 14 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000169.3 (GLA) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 60 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 9 uncertain in NM_000169.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrX-101407774-A-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 4087662.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 218 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 17 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.8759 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: NaN (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Fabry disease.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993
• PP5: Variant X-101407772-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-101407772-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 92542.

GLA p.Trp44Cys (c.132G>C) is a missense variant that changes the amino acid at residue 44 from Tryptophan to Cysteine. This variant has been observed in at least one proband affected with Fabry disease (PMID:37940383;33258999). Another cDNA variant that causes the same protein consequence has been determined to be pathogenic. It is absent or not present at a significant frequency in gnomAD. In silico models agree that this variant is possibly or probably damaging. In conclusion, we classify GLA p.Trp44Cys (c.132G>C) as a pathogenic variant.
