Genes affected
PYGL (HGNC:9725): (glycogen phosphorylase L) This gene encodes a homodimeric protein that catalyses the cleavage of alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds to release glucose-1-phosphate from liver glycogen stores. This protein switches from inactive phosphorylase B to active phosphorylase A by phosphorylation of serine residue 15. Activity of this enzyme is further regulated by multiple allosteric effectors and hormonal controls. Humans have three glycogen phosphorylase genes that encode distinct isozymes that are primarily expressed in liver, brain and muscle, respectively. The liver isozyme serves the glycemic demands of the body in general while the brain and muscle isozymes supply just those tissues. In glycogen storage disease type VI, also known as Hers disease, mutations in liver glycogen phosphorylase inhibit the conversion of glycogen to glucose and results in moderate hypoglycemia, mild ketosis, growth retardation and hepatomegaly. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.04009434 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.7, offset of -9, new splice context is: aagGTgaag. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 14-50913028-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-50913028-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 849156.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PYGL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9536091, 21646031). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in several individuals and families affected with PYGL-related conditions (PMID: 9536091, 21646031). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 13 of the PYGL gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
