Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BS3_SupportingBP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000156.6:c.314G>A variant in GAMT is a missense variant predicted to cause the substitution of an arginine by a glutamine at amino acid position 105 (p.Arg105Gln). This variant has been previously reported in two individuals in the Exome Variant Server database, both of whom were heterozygous for the variant (PMID:26003046) but, to our knowledge, it has not been reported among individuals with GAMT deficiency. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.0002374 (275/1158566 alleles; 1 homozygote) in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), but due to the presence of a homozygote, the criterion was not applied. BS2 was not applied here to avoid double counting this evidence. Expression of the variant in HeLa cells resulted in GAMT enzyme activity similar to wild type GAMT (BS3_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.14 which is below the threshold of 0.29, evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on GAMT function (BP4). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 390894). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign 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 2.0.0): BS3_Supporting, BP4.((Classification approved by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel on March 13, 2025) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA9043741/MONDO:0012999/026

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]
