Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPM3PP4_ModeratePVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5:c.2331+2T>A variant in GAA occurs within the canonical splice donor site of intron 16. RT-PCR of RNA from cultured fibroblasts from a patient who is compound heterozygous for this variant revealed that c.2331+2T>A leads to use of an alternative splice donor at c.2315, resulting in a frameshift, premature stop codon and nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PMID 33168984). Western blot of protein from cultured fibroblasts from another patient with this variant found absence of cross-reactive immunological material for GAA supporting that this variant results in lack of gene product (PMID 22252923)(PVS1). At least 5 patients with Pompe disease have been reported with this variant including 4 patients with documented GAA deficiency (PMID 26693141, 27189384, 32071926)(PP4_Moderate). Of these patients, three are compound heterozygous for the variant and c.-32-13T>G, with one confirmed in trans (PMIDs 27189384, 30922962, 29149851), one is compound heterozygous for the variant and c.1327-61_1437+171del, phase unknown (PMID 32071926), and one patient is homozygous (PMID 26693141)(PM3). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00001 in the European non-Finnish population, which is lower than the ClinGen LD VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.97 for donor loss, predicting that the variant disrupts the donor splice site of intron 16 of GAA. But since PVS1 is applied, PP3 cannot be applied at the same time. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371281, 2 star review status) with seven submitters classifying the variant as pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (ACMG/AMP specifications version 2.0): PVS1, PM3, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting.(Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on December 19, 2024) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA16041906/MONDO:0009290/010

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]

At least 5 patients with Pompe disease have been reported with this variant including 4 patients with documented GAA deficiency (PMID 26693141, 27189384, 32071926)(PP4_Moderate). Of these patients, three are compound heterozygous for the variant and c.-32-13T>G, with one confirmed in trans (PMIDs 27189384, 30922962, 29149851), one is compound heterozygous for the variant and c.1327-61_1437+171del, phase unknown (PMID 32071926), and one patient is homozygous (PMID 26693141)(PM3). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00001 in the European non-Finnish population, which is lower than the ClinGen LD VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.97 for donor loss, predicting that the variant disrupts the donor splice site of intron 16 of GAA. But since PVS1 is applied, PP3 cannot be applied at the same time. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371281, 2 star review status) with seven submitters classifying the variant as pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (ACMG/AMP specifications version 2.0): PVS1, PM3, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting.

The c.2331+2T>A variant in GAA has been reported in at least 4 individuals (including 1 Belgian individual) with Glycogen Storage Disease II (PMID: 22252923, 18425781, 20817528), and has also been reported pathogenic by Counsyl in ClinVar (Variation ID: 371281). This variant has been identified in 0.001% (1/111712) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs1057517148). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1/2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Loss of function of the GAA gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Glycogen Storage Disease II. The presence of this variant in combination with a pathogenic variant and in an individual with Glycogen Storage Disease II slightly increases the likelihood that the c.2331+2T>A variant is pathogenic (PMID: 20817528). The phenotype of an individual heterozygous for this variant is highly specific for Glycogen Storage Disease II with abnormally low GAA activity detected in their fibroblasts (PMID: 20817528). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Glycogen Storage Disease II in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted impact of the variant and an occurrence with a pathogenic GAA variant in an individual with Glycogen Storage Disease II. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3_Supporting, PM2, PP4 (Richards 2015). -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 16 of the GAA gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in GAA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18425781, 22252923). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Pompe disease (PMID: 31086307, 32071926). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371281). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
