Genes affected

GLA (HGNC:4296): (galactosidase alpha) This gene encodes a homodimeric glycoprotein that hydrolyses the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. This enzyme predominantly hydrolyzes ceramide trihexoside, and it can catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose. A variety of mutations in this gene affect the synthesis, processing, and stability of this enzyme, which causes Fabry disease, a rare lysosomal storage disorder that results from a failure to catabolize alpha-D-galactosyl glycolipid moieties.

RPL36A-HNRNPH2 (HGNC:48349): (RPL36A-HNRNPH2 readthrough) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring ribosomal protein L36a and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (H') genes on chromosome X. The read-through transcript produces a protein with similarity to the protein encoded by the upstream locus, ribosomal protein L36a. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 85 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-101407877-AT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-101407877-AT-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 523927.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-101407877-AT-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.His9Leufs*112) in the GLA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with classical Fabry disease and in one unaffected carrier female (PMID: 10916280, 15712228). Loss-of-function variants in GLA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10666480, 12175777). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: GLA c.26delA (p.His9LeufsX112) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 183413 control chromosomes. c.26delA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Fabry Disease (Eng_2001, Rosenberg_2000, Wang_2007, Gupta_2005). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The c.26delA variant in the GLA gene has been reported previously in association with Fabry disease using alternate nomenclature (Eng et al., 1994). The deletion causes a frameshift starting with codon Histidine 9, changes this amino acid to a Leucine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 112 of the new reading frame, denoted p.His9LeufsX112. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.26delA variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). In summary, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
