Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PP4PM2PVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: This variant, c.573C>A (p.Tyr191Ter), is a nonsense variant that is predicted to result in nonsense-mediated decay and lack of gene product, meeting PVS1. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00003 in the Latino population, meeting PM2. Two patients meeting the ClinGen LSD VCEP's specifications for PP4 have been reported. These patients are compound heterozygous for the variant and either c.2173C>T (p.Arg725Trp) (PMID 18505979), or c.2646+2T>A (PMID 11738358). However, in both cases, the in trans data from these patients will be used in the classification of the other variant and was not included here in order to avoid a circular argument. Additional patients have been reported but were not included because the residual GAA activity was not reported and therefore PP4 cannot be assessed (PMIDs 25998610, 27711114, 30022036). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370276; 1 star review status) with one submitter classifying the variant as likely pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LSD VCEP: PVS1, PM2, PP4.

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]

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.Tyr191*) in the GAA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GAA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18425781, 22252923). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Pompe disease (PMID: 11738358, 30155607). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370276). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Tyr191Ter variant in GAA has been reported in 3 Spanish and 1 French individuals with Glycogen Storage Disease II (PMID: 11738358, 18505979, 25998610), and has also been reported likely pathogenic by Counsyl in ClinVar (Variation ID: 370276). This variant has been identified in 0.003% (1/34578) of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs376229714). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 191, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the GAA gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Glycogen Storage Disease II. This variant has been seen in combination with other variants curated in individuals with Glycogen Storage Disease II (PMID: 11738358, 18505979). The phenotype of individuals compound heterozygous for this variant is highly specific for Glycogen Storage Disease II based on low GAA activity in patients consistent with disease (PMID: PMID: 18505979, 11738358). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Glycogen Storage Disease II in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted impact of the variant and low frequency in the general population. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PP4, PM2 (Richards 2015). -
