Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BP4 BA1 BP7

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_001482.3:c.669T>C (p.Tyr223=) variant in GATM is a synonymous (silent) variant that is not predicted by SpliceAI to impact splicing. In addition, it occurs at a nucleotide that is not conserved as shown by PhyloP (BP7). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00501 (125/24958 alleles) in the African population, which is higher than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for BA1 (>0.0005), and therefore meets this criterion (BA1). The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.0 for donor and acceptor loss suggesting that the variant has no impact on splicing (BP4). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 137449). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as benign for AGAT 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): BA1, BP4, BP7.(Classification approved by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP on January 25, 2023).

Genes affected

GATM (HGNC:4175): (glycine amidinotransferase) This gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that belongs to the amidinotransferase family. This enzyme is involved in creatine biosynthesis, whereby it catalyzes the transfer of a guanido group from L-arginine to glycine, resulting in guanidinoacetic acid, the immediate precursor of creatine. Mutations in this gene cause arginine:glycine amidinotransferase deficiency, an inborn error of creatine synthesis characterized by cognitive disability, language impairment, and behavioral disorders.

This alteration is classified as 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. -
