This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5(GAA):c.1048G>A variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of valine by methionine at amino acid 350 (p.Val350Met). This variant has been detected in at least 12 individuals, and at least 11 patients with this variant had documented GAA deficiency with activity in the affected range in dried blood spot (Clinical Laboratory data, PMIDs: 25451853, 36310651, 36246652). However, in the absence of clinical symptoms to support that the variant causes Pompe disease, PP4 was not applied. Of those individuals, 1 was homozygous for the variant, and 11 were compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in GAA; 2 of those were confirmed in trans by parental testing, including c.-32-13T>G (9 patients, Clinical laboratory data, PMID:25451853, 1 patient confirmed in trans), c.2051C>T (p.Pro684Leu) (1 patient, PMID:36310651, phase unknown), c.1589del (p.Glu530GlyfsTer48) (1 patient, PMID:36246652, phase unknown), and c.2238G>C (p.Trp746Cys) (2 patients, one confirmed in trans and one with a pseudodeficiency allele, Clinical Laboratory data). Due to lack of clinical symptoms in these patients, PM3 is not met at the current time. When expressed in HEK293 cells, GAA enzyme activity was 1.5% of the positive control (Table 3). Western blot revealed faint precursor (110 k Da) and mature (76 kDa) protein bands with lower intensity compared to the positive control, indicating this variant may be impacting GAA protein stability and processing (PS3_Supporting). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00013 (17/1128822 alleles) in the European non-Finnish population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.878 which is above the threshold of 0.7, evidence that correlates with impact to GAA function (PP3). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555998). In summary, while patients with this variant have been reported with deficiency GAA activity, and the variant has been found in compound heterozygosity with pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in GAA, the Lysosomal Diseases VCEP concluded that there is insufficient phenotypic evidence to indicate that this variant cuases Pompe disease at this time. Therefore, this variant will be classified as a variant of uncertain significance until further evidence is available.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | May 30, 2024 | Variant summary: GAA c.1048G>A (p.Val350Met) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 9.6e-05 in 251022 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in GAA causing Late Onset Pompe Disease (9.6e-05 vs 0.0042), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1048G>A has been reported in the literature in infants with indications of Late Onset Pompe Disease via newborn screening who were compound heterozygous with pathogenic variants (e.g. Lee_2022, Goomber_2022). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant results in 1.5% of wild type GAA enzyme activity (Goomber_2022). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23430949, 24627108, 30155607, 33073007, 25786784, 25451853, 34995642, 36246652, 36310651). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555998). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. - |

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | curation | Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard | Jan 22, 2020 | The p.Val350Met variant in GAA has been reported in 2 individuals with glycogen storage disease II (PMID: 25786784, 25451853) and has been identified in 0.04% (11/25122) of European (Finnish) chromosomes, 0.013% (17/128822) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes, and 0.004% (1/24900) of African chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs200412003). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar as a VUS by Counsyl and Invitae (VariationID: 555998). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The phenotype of individuals heterozygous for this variant is highly specific for glycogen storage disease II based on GAA enzyme activity in muscle and lymphocytes being <10% of wild type, consistent with disease (PMID: 25786784, 25451853). Additionally, the presence of this variant in combination with reported pathogenic variant c.-32-13T>G and in individuals with glycogen storage disease II slightly increases the likelihood that the p.Val350Met variant is pathogenic. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_supporting, PM2, PP3, PP4 (Richards 2015). - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 31, 2024 | This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 350 of the GAA protein (p.Val350Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs200412003, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Pompe disease (PMID: 23430949, 25451853, 36246652). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555998). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GAA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GAA function (PMID: 36246652). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Myriad Genetics, Inc. | Nov 08, 2021 | NM_000152.3(GAA):c.1048G>A(V350M) is a missense variant classified as a variant of uncertain significance in the context of Pompe disease. V350M has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID 25451853, 23430949). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. V350M has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: FIN 0.05%). In summary, there is insufficient evidence to classify NM_000152.3(GAA):c.1048G>A(V350M) as pathogenic or benign. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. - |
