Genes affected
GBE1 (HGNC:4180): (1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a glycogen branching enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of alpha-1,4-linked glucosyl units from the outer end of a glycogen chain to an alpha-1,6 position on the same or a neighboring glycogen chain. Branching of the chains is essential to increase the solubility of the glycogen molecule and, consequently, in reducing the osmotic pressure within cells. Highest level of this enzyme are found in liver and muscle. Mutations in this gene are associated with glycogen storage disease IV (also known as Andersen's disease). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardJan 27, 2022The p.Trp548Ter variant in GBE1 has been reported in 1 individual, in the homozygous state, with glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) (PMID: 1766224) and has been identified in 0.009% (1/11570) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs137852894). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 2793) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by OMIM and GeneReviews. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Trp548Ter variant may impact protein function (PMID: 1766224). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 548, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the GBE1 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive GSD IV. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for GSD IV.
