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]

Glycogen storage disease, type II Uncertain:1Benign:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaMay 05, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
Benign, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen Lysosomal Storage Disorder Variant Curation Expert PanelJan 22, 2020The highest continental population minor allele frequency for c.1286A>G (p.Gln429Arg) in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.01028 in the East Asian population. This is higher than the ClinGen LSD VCEP's BA1 threshold (>0.01), therefore meeting the BA1 criterion. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 284497; 2 star review status) with three submitters classifying the variant as benign and one as likely benign. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as benign for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LSD VCEP: BA1. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardJan 22, 2020The p.Gln429Arg variant in GAA has been reported in one Taiwanese individual with glycogen storage disease II (PMID: 25466677). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar as benign by EGL Genetic Diagnostics and Invitae, and as likely benign by GeneDx (VariantID: 284497). This variant has been identified in 1.03% (196/19070) of East Asian chromosomes, 0.03% (1/29316) of South Asian chromosomes, and 0.002% (2/119604) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs200294882). This variant has been seen in the general population at a frequency 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. This variant was found in cis with another pathogenic variant, suggesting that it may not cause disease (PMID: 25466677; Variation ID: 423925). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as benign for glycogen storage disease II in an autosomal recessive manner based on its high frequency in the general population and the presence of the same amino acid in other mammals. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BA1, BP2, BP4 (Richards 2015). -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 09, 2019Variant summary: GAA c.1286A>G (p.Gln429Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0008 in 234302 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.011 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2.6 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in GAA causing Glycogen Storage Disease, Type 2 (Pompe Disease) phenotype (0.0042). In addition, the variant was also found in Japanese healthy controls with a frequency of 0.005, including 1 homozygote (in the HGVD database). These data strongly suggest that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. The variant, c.1286A>G, has been reported in the literature in a newborn affected with infantile-onset Glycogen Storage Disease, Type 2 (Pompe Disease), however, this patient also carried two other pathogenic GAA variants, in cis (c.1062 C>G (p.Tyr354X)), and trans (c.1935C>A (p.Asp645Glu)) that could explain the phenotype, therefore supporting a benign role for the variant of interest (Chien_2014, Peng_2016). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submissions from other clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) classified the variant as likely benign (1x) and benign (2x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 23, 2020This 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. -
