Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPS1_SupportingPVS1_StrongPM3PP4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5:c.-32-3C>A variant is located in the splice acceptor region of intron 1 and has been shown to impact splicing. In fibroblasts from an individual with Pompe disease who was compound heterozygous for the variant and a missense variant in GAA, RT-PCR revealed loss of exon 2 (p.M1_T182del, which includes the 27 residues of signal sequence, the 42 residues of the propeptide and the first 113 amino acids of the mature protein (from 70 to 182) (PMID:18429042). A later study, in which the variant was expressed in a minigene, showed that the variant results in about 20% of transcripts with normal splicing of exon 2 (of note, this is a slightly lower level of normal splicing than observed for a well known pathogenic variant in the same splice region, c.-32-13T>G). Abnormal splicing events included complete loss of exon 2 (r.-32_546del) and activation of a cryptic splice site (r.‐32_486del) (PMID:31301153). Due to loss of a critical region (the signal sequence) in aberrantly spliced transcripts, but with presence of some normal transcript (albeit at a lower level than a known pathogenic variant in the same splice region), PVS1 was applied at the strong level (PMID:37352859) (PVS1_Strong, PS1_Supporting applied based on recommendations in PMID:37352859). This variant has been reported in at least 6 probands with late onset Pompe disease including two individuals with documented GAA activity <30% normal in fibroblasts (PMID:19046416, 21550241) (PP4_Moderate). Two of these probands have been reported to have this variant in compound heterozygosity, phase unknown, with another variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP including c.1655T>C (p.Leu552Pro) (PMID:18429042) and c.482_483del (PMID:21550241). In addition, three affected siblings have been reported to be homozygous for the variant (PMID:19588081, 20464284, 25681614) (PM3). Another three patients are compound heterozygous for the variant and a missense variant (either c.1905C>A (p.Asn635Lys), c.1447G>A (p.Gly483Arg), or c.2173C>T (p.Arg725Trp)) (PMID:19588081). The allelic data from these patients will be used in the classification of the second variant and is not included here to avoid circular logic. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.0. is 0.000007314 (8/1093866 alleles) in the European non-Finnish populationn, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371662). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LSD VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0): PVS1_Strong, PM3, PS1_Supporting, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting.

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]
