Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PVS1PM2_SupportingPM3_SupportingPP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_001482.3(GATM):c.505C>T (p.Arg169Ter) variant in GATM is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 4/9 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). This variant is reported to be homozygous in a proband and sibling, both of whom have undetectable GAA in plasma and urine, and reduced creatine peak (about 2/3 normal) on brain MRS with elevated NAA/creatine ratio (PMID 20625172, 23660394, 26490222)(PP4_Strong, PM3_Supporting). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00005 in the East Asian population. This is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP's threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.000055) meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55919). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for AGAT deficiency. GATM-specific ACMG/AMP codes met, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP (Specifications Version 1.1.0): PVS1, PP4_Strong, PM3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting.(Classification approved by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP on June 6, 2022).

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.

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg169*) in the GATM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GATM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11555793). This variant is present in population databases (rs397514708, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) deficiency (PMID: 20625172). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55919). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
