Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BS1BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5:c.676C>G variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of leucine by valine at amino acid 226 (p.Leu226Val). The highest population minor allele frequency of this variant in gnomAD v2.1.1. is 0.006298 (156/24770 alleles) in the African/African American population which is higher than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for BS1 (>0.005), and therefore meets this criterion (BS1). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.159 which is below the threshold of 0.5, evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on GAA function (BP4). There are ten ClinVar entries for this variant (Variation ID:188476; 2 star review status) with eight submitters classifying the variant as likely benign and two as benign. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria met, based on the specifications of the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0): BS1, BP4.(Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP on May 7, 2024) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA198772/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]

Glycogen storage disease, type II Benign:5

Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:curation

The p.Leu226Val variant in GAA has not been reported in an individual with Glycogen Storage Disease II but has been reported in 1 European individual with unexplained limb-girdle muscle weakness (PMID: 29149851), and has been reported as a likely benign variant by EGL Genetic Diagnostics, GeneDx, and Invitae in ClinVar (Variation ID: 188476). This variant has been identified in 0.6298% (156/24770) of African chromosomes, 0.0622% (22/35358) of Latino chromosomes, and 0.0126% (16/127350) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes, including 1 homozygote, by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs113085339). This variant has been seen in the general population at a greater frequency than expected for Glycogen Storage Disease II and is consistent with a benign role. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely benign. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1, BP4 (Richards 2015). -

Variant summary: GAA c.676C>G (p.Leu226Val) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Galactose mutarotase, N-terminal barrel domain (IPR031727) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00059 in 242408 control chromosomes (1 homozygote), predominantly at a frequency of 0.0067 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in GAA causing Glycogen Storage Disease, Type 2 (Pompe Disease) phenotype (0.0042), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.676C>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected limb-girdle muscular weakness with a non-informative genotype (Johnson_2017). The report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Glycogen Storage Disease, Type 2 (Pompe Disease). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
