Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 3P and 1B. PM2_SupportingPM3_SupportingPM5_SupportingBP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5:c.796C>A variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of proline by threonine at amino acid 266 (p.Pro266Thr). One patient with a diagnosis of Pompe disease has been reported who is compound heterozygous, phase unknown, for the variant and a variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LSD VCEP, c.2237G>A (p.Trp746Ter) (PMID:29451150) (PM3_Supporting). Two other missense changes, c.796C>T (p.Pro266Ser) and c.797C>T (p.Pro266Leu) at the same amino acid residue have been reported. The first, c.796C>T (p.Pro266Ser), has been classified as likely pathogenic by the ClinGen LSD VCEP. The second variant, c.797C>T (p.Pro266Leu), has not been classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by the ClinGen LSD VCEP (PM5_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.262 which is below the threshold of 0.5, evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on GAA function (BP4). There is no ClinVar entry for this variant.In summary, this variant meet the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP codes met, based on the specifications of the ClinGen LSD VCEP (Specifications version 2.0): PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PM5_Supporting, BP4.

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]

The NM_000152.5:c.796C>A variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of proline by threonine at amino acid 266 (p.Pro266Thr). One patient with a diagnosis of Pompe disease has been reported who is compound heterozygous, phase unknown, for the variant and a variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP, c.2237G>A (p.Trp746Ter) (PMID: 29451150) (PM3_Supporting). Two other missense changes, c.796C>T (p.Pro266Ser) and c.797C>T (p.Pro266Leu) at the same amino acid residue have been reported. The first, c.796C>T (p.Pro266Ser), has been classified as likely pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP. The second variant, c.797C>T (p.Pro266Leu), has not yet been classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP (PM5_Supporting). Expression of the variant in HEK293 cells demonstrates loss of GAA activity, and western blot shows only the 110kDa precursor band suggesting abnormal GAA processing (using the assay reported in PMID: 36246652). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.262 which is below the threshold of 0.5, evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on GAA function (BP4). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1693549). In summary, this variant meet the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP codes met, based on the specifications of the ClinGen LD VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0.0): PS3_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PM5_Supporting, BP4.
