Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PVS1PP4PM2_SupportingPM3_Supporting

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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 17, 2023This 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. -
