Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM2PP2PP3_ModeratePP5
The NM_000235.4(LIPA):c.379C>T(p.Arg127Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000551 in 1,613,980 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R127Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Variant summary: LIPA c.379C>T (p.Arg127Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Alpha/beta hydrolase fold-1 domain (IPR000073) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 251444 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in LIPA causing Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency (4.8e-05 vs 0.0027), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.379C>T has been reported in the literature as a heterozygous genotype in at least one individual affected with Hypercholesterolemia (Vinje_2018). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency. Two publications reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on enzymatic activity (Vinje_2018 and DelAngel_2019). The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal Lysosomal acidic lipase activity. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29196158, 31131398, 31180157). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 528226). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 127 of the LIPA protein (p.Arg127Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs140686447, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LIPA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 528226). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LIPA protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LIPA function (PMID: 29196158, 31180157). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
