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]

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The c.915G>A (p.Gly305=) variant in GAA has been reported in 2 individuals with limb-girdle muscle weakness (PMID: 29149851) and has also been reported as a likely benign variant by GeneDx and Invitae and as a VUS by EGL in ClinVar (Variation ID: 188478). This variant has been identified in 0.1843% (232/125858) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes and 0.1138% (40/35140) of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs150343359). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational prediction tools (including splice predictors) and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. Novel synonymous variants supported by computational evidence without raised suspicion for an impact are likely benign (Richards 2015). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely benign. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BP4, BP7 (Richards 2015). -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
