Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PP3PM3PM2_SupportingPS3_SupportingPP4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5:c.2173C>T variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Arg by Trp at amino acid 725 (p.Arg725Trp). This variant is present in gnomAD V2.1.1 with the highest population minor allele frequency of 0.00077 (7/9058 alleles) in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, which is lower than the ClinGen LSD VCEP's threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.909 which is above the thresholds predicting a damaging (>0.7) impact on GAA function. Thus met PP3 criteria. This variant results in 6.5% GAA activity when expressed in COS cells (PMID:8401535), meeting the ClinGen LSD VCEP specifications for PS3. This variant has been detected in at least 12 individuals with Pompe disease. Of those individuals, 10 were compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant including 2 with c.573C>A-pathogenic (PMID:30155607), 1 with ex18 deletion-pathogenic (PMID:28648663), 3 with c.-32-13T>G-pathogenic (PMID:27711114, 17616415), 1 with c.-32-3C>A-likely pathogenic (PMID:19588081), 2 with c.1076-1G>C pathogenic variants (PMID:17616415). 1 individual was homozygous for the variant (PMID:27711114). A total of 4.25 points were awarded. Thus meets PM3-Very Strong. At least 4 individuals have been reported with this variant and GAA activity <10% normal in leukocytes/muscle samples or <30% normal in cultured fibroblasts. Patient 5 (PMID:21550241) has 0.2% normal GAA activity in fibroblast. Patient 3 has 1.1% normal GAA activity in fibroblasts, patient 15 has 5.2% normal GAA activity in fibroblasts (PMID:17616415). Patient 1 (PMID:3865697) has GAA activity in affected range in muscle, cultured fibroblasts, and leucocytes when compared to the laboratory’s control range. This meets the criteria for PP4. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4024; 2 star review status) with 9 submitters classifying the variant as pathogenic with no conflict. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for Pompe disease based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Storage Disorders Variant Curation Expert panel (Specifications Version 2.0): PS3-supporting, PM2-supporting, PM3-very strong, PP3, and PP4-moderate.(Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP on Oct. 3, 2023) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA116598/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]
