Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PS3_SupportingPP3_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_001482.3:c.565C>T variant in GATM is a missense variant that is predicted to result in the substitution of arginine by cysteine at amino acid 189 (p.Arg189Cys). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with AGAT deficiency in the published literature. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.00006683 (3/44888 alleles) in the East Asian population. This is higher than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.000055), and lower than the threshold for BS1 (Grpmax >0.0001). Therefore, none of the population data codes are met. When overexpressed in HeLa cells, the variant resulted in <10% of wild-type enzyme activity (PMID:27233232) (PS3_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of [0.881] which is above the threshold of 0.773, evidence that correlates with impact to IDUA function at the moderate level based on the specifications of the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (PMID:36413997) (PP3_Moderate). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 225915). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for AGAT deficiency. GATM-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0.0.): PS3_Supporting, PP3_Moderate.(Classification approved by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP on April 11, 2025).

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.
