Genes affected
GBA1 (HGNC:4177): (glucosylceramidase beta 1) This gene encodes a lysosomal membrane protein that cleaves the beta-glucosidic linkage of glycosylceramide, an intermediate in glycolipid metabolism. Mutations in this gene cause Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disease characterized by an accumulation of glucocerebrosides. A related pseudogene is approximately 12 kb downstream of this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Functional studies found that R87W is associated with significantly reduced beta-glucosidase activity (PMID: 9153297); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20729108, 9516376, 26018676, 17574891, 9217217, 17059888, 34820281, 33301762, 34867278, 7655857, 24904648, 28947706, 26051481, 30764785, 9295080, 1974409, 9153297, 29699937, 27027900, 28506293, 10796875, 28727984, 27872820, 33176831, 33473340, 35592045, 29625627) -

Variant summary: The GBA c.259C>T (p.Arg87Trp) variant, located in the Glycosyl hydrolase domain, causes a missense change involving a conserved nucleotide with 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome, which a functional study, Grace_1997, supports these predictions. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency 2/121120 (1/60560), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic GBA variant of 1/200 (0.005). This variant has been reported in numerous GD patients, who were homozygous and compound heterozygous for the variant. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Arg87Trp variant in GBA has been reported in at least 12 individuals with Gaucher disease, segregated with disease in 4 affected relatives from 2 families (PMID: 28506293, 28727984, 28947706, 7655857, 17574891, 9153297, 9295080, 17059888), and has been identified in 0.012% (2/16234) of African chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs1141814). 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 has also been reported in ClinVar (VariationID: 4321) as pathogenic by OMIM and Integrated Genetics. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Arg87Trp variant may slightly impact protein function (PMID: 9153297). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The presence of this variant in one affected homozygote and in combination with reported pathogenic variants in 7 individuals with Gaucher disease increases the likelihood that the p.Arg87Trp variant is pathogenic (VariationID: 4288, 4328, 65570; PMID: 28506293, 28727984, 28947706, 7655857, 17574891, 9295080). The phenotype of individuals compound heterozygous for this variant is highly specific for Gaucher disease based on significantly reduced beta-glucosidase activity in the leukocytes consistent with disease (PMID: 28506293, 9295080). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Gaucher disease in an autosomal recessive manner based on the presence of the variant in combination with other pathogenic variants in affected individuals, patient's phenotypes being highly specific for the gene, cosegregation with disease, and functional studies. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_very-strong, PM2_supporting, PP3, PP4, PS3_supporting, PP1 (Richards 2015). -

A compound heterozygous missense variation in exon 3 of the GBA gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Trptophan for Arginine at codon 87 was detected. The observed variant c.259C>T (p.Arg87Trp) has a minor allele frequency of 0.0028% in the gnomAD databases. The in silico prediction of the variant is disease causing by DANN and MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as a pathogenic. -
