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]

GAMT NM_000156.5 exon 2 p.Ser76Leu (c.227C>T): This variant has been reported in the literature in 1 individual, but without phenotype information (Mercimek-Mahmutoglu 2016 PMID:26319512). This variant is present in 0.05% (66/123594) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-1399892-G-A). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:195022). Evolutionary conservation suggests that this variant may not impact the protein; computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. Functional studies suggest a benign effect of this variant. However, further studies are needed to understand its impact. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The c.227C>T (p.S76L) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the GAMT gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 227, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 76 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 76 of the GAMT protein (p.Ser76Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs150338273, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GAMT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 195022). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on GAMT protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect GAMT function (PMID: 26319512). 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. -
