Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PP3PS3_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5:c.726G>A variant in GAA is a synonymous (silent) variant (p.Ala242=) that is predicted to impact splicing. This variant has been detected in at least 10 individuals with low GAA activity. Of those individuals, 8 were compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant and 3 of those were confirmed in trans by parental testing (c.726G>A/c.525delT; 5 patients with the genotype c.−32-13T>G; 726G>A, confirmed in trans in 3 patients, PMID:36310651; c.726G>A / c.671G>A; c.726G>A / c.1979G>A; c.726G>A and c.2560C>T), however there is no diagnosis of Pompe disease and PM3 and PP4 are not met. The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.96 for acceptor gain, predicting that the variant creates a new cryptic splice site that is stronger than the original splice site. VarSeak also classifies this variant as having a likely splicing effect by generating a cryptic splice site 35 nucleotides downstream of the authentic splice site with a higher score, meeting PP3. This is confirmed by RNA sequencing data for an individual with the c.726G>A variant demonstrated that the variant impacts splicing by introducing an alternate splice site that results in exon shrinkage. The data suggest that this results in a frameshift and introduces a premature termination codon, however the expression is not reduced, indicating a truncated protein is produced (PMID:35304488), meeting PS3_Supporting. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 285366, 1 star review status) with 10 submitters classifying the variant as VUS (4 submitters), likely benign (3 submitters), and benign (1 submitter). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for Pompe disease. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (specifications Version 2.0): PP3, PS3_Supporting.(Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP on Sept. 19, 2023) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA8815004/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]
