Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BS1BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_001482.3:c.156T>A variant in GATM is a synonymous (silent) variant (p.Ala52=). The computational predictor, SpliceAI, predicts that the variant does not impact splicing (BP4). BP7 was not applied because the nucleotide is moderately conserved, as shown by phyloP (score 2.27). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature and results of functional studies are unavailable. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00016 (4/24964 alleles) in the African population, which is higher than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for BS1 (>0.0001), and therefore meets this criterion (BS1). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 469137). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely 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): BS1, BP4.Classification approved by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel on November 8, 2024) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA7542986/MONDO:0012996/025

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.
