Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PP4_StrongPP3PM2_SupportingPS3PM3_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000156.6:c.224C>T variant in GAMT is a missense variant that is predicted to result in the substitution of alanine by valine at amino acid 75 (p.Ala75Val). One patient, with mild intellectual disability, anti-epileptic drug-responsive seizures, and stereotypic movements has been reported with creatine and guanidinoacetate peak absent on MRS, bilateral thalami increased on MRI, and urine guanidinoacetate levels between 1.1 and 12 times above the upper limit of reference range (PP4_Strong). This individual is homozygous for the variant (PM3_Supporting). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00007 (1/15028 alleles) in the African population, which is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). GAMT-deficient fibroblasts transfected with the variant showed <15% wild-type enzyme activity (PMID:24415674). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.86 which is above the threshold of 0.75, evidence that correlates with impact to GAMT function (PP3). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 544251). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for GAMT deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 1.1.0): PP4_Strong, PP3, PS3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting.

Genes affected
GAMT (HGNC:4136): (guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase) The protein encoded by this gene is a methyltransferase that converts guanidoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor. Defects in this gene have been implicated in neurologic syndromes and muscular hypotonia, probably due to creatine deficiency and accumulation of guanidinoacetate in the brain of affected individuals. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 2 and 13. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
