Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000152.5(GAA):c.1193del(p.Leu398ArgfsTer42) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000685 in 1,460,492 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L398L) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-80108605-CT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-80108605-CT-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 371457.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Fulgent Genetics, Fulgent Genetics	Jul 09, 2021	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Apr 26, 2023	This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371457). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Pompe disease (PMID: 30155607). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu398Argfs*42) in the GAA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GAA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18425781, 22252923). -

Likely pathogenic, reviewed by expert panel	curation	ClinGen Lysosomal Storage Disorder Variant Curation Expert Panel	Mar 10, 2023	The NM_000152.5:c.1193del (p.Leu398ArgfsTer42) variant in GAA is a frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). This variant is not in gnomAD v2.1.1. (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been reported in one patient with POmpe disease; however residual GAA activity was not provided and the second variant is not reported (PMID 30155607). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371457). The classification of this variant has been upgraded from Variant of Uncertain Significance to Likely Pathogenic based on the recommendations of the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation Working Group, that a variant meeting PVS1 and PM2_Supporting is classified as Likely Pathogenic (https://clinicalgenome.org/site/assets/files/5182/pm2_-_svi_recommendation_-_approved_sept2020.pdf ). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria met, based on the specifications of the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0): PVS1, PM2_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP, March 10, 2023). -
