Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000156.6:c.328-10C>T variant in GAMT is an intronic variant affecting a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of intron 2. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature among individuals with GAMT deficiency and results of functional studies are unavailable. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.0003385 (10/29542 alleles) in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, followed by 0.0001857 (219/1179100) in the European non-Finnish population, both of which are lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.03 for acceptor loss suggesting that the variant has no impact on splicing (BP4). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 328349). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for GAMT deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0.0): PM2_Supporting, BP4.(Classification approved by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel on October 8th, 2024).

Genes affected
GAMT (HGNC:4136): (guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase) The protein encoded by this gene is a methyltransferase that converts guanidoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor. Defects in this gene have been implicated in neurologic syndromes and muscular hypotonia, probably due to creatine deficiency and accumulation of guanidinoacetate in the brain of affected individuals. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 2 and 13. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

The NM_000156.6:c.328-10C>T variant in GAMT is an intronic variant affecting a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of intron 2. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature among individuals with GAMT deficiency and results of functional studies are unavailable. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.0003385 (10/29542 alleles) in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, followed by 0.0001857 (219/1179100) in the European non-Finnish population, both of which are lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.03 for acceptor loss suggesting that the variant has no impact on splicing (BP4). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 328349). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for GAMT deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0.0): PM2_Supporting, BP4.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.
