Genes affected

GLA (HGNC:4296): (galactosidase alpha) This gene encodes a homodimeric glycoprotein that hydrolyses the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. This enzyme predominantly hydrolyzes ceramide trihexoside, and it can catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose. A variety of mutations in this gene affect the synthesis, processing, and stability of this enzyme, which causes Fabry disease, a rare lysosomal storage disorder that results from a failure to catabolize alpha-D-galactosyl glycolipid moieties.

RPL36A-HNRNPH2 (HGNC:48349): (RPL36A-HNRNPH2 readthrough) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring ribosomal protein L36a and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (H') genes on chromosome X. The read-through transcript produces a protein with similarity to the protein encoded by the upstream locus, ribosomal protein L36a. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Ser238Asn mutation in the GLA gene has been reported in two unrelated males with late onset HCM and low plasma galactosidase A activity (Monserrat L et al., 2007). Mutations in nearby residues (Trp236Arg, Trp236Cys, Trp236Leu, Ile239Thr, Ile242Thr) have been reported in association with Fabry disease, further supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Furthermore, the NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports Ser238Asn was not observed in approximately 6,500 samples from individuals of European and African American backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The variant is found in HCM panel(s). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: GLA c.713G>A (p.Ser238Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 183483 control chromosomes. c.713G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals with phenotypes ranging from classic Fabry disease (Vieitez_2018) to seemingly isolated GLA-HCM (Monserrat_2007), to late-onset Fabry disease, which may be related to skewed X-inactivation with predominant expression of the wild-type GLA allele (Echevarria_2015). In vitro enzyme activity was shown to be 36% of wild-type (Lukas_2013). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 238 of the GLA protein (p.Ser238Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Fabry disease (PMID: 18154965). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 180841). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GLA protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GLA function (PMID: 23935525). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The GLA c.713G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser238Asn. This variant was reported in multiple unrelated individuals with Fabry disease and/or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Table 3, Monserrat et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 18154965; Lukas et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23935525; Viswanathan et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29121657; Ditac et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 35242543; Vieitez et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29631605; Echevarria et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25974833; Nowak et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31449323; Jain et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29361493). Multiple studies show that this variant may have incomplete penetrance in younger patients and is frequently associated with late onset disease, where male patients hemizygous for this variant have severely reduced alpha-galactosidase activity (Monserrat et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 18154965; Table 2, Nowak et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31449323; Ditac et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 35242543; Germain et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32161151). In vitro functional study showed that this variant results in 36-37 % of wild-type alpha-galactosidase A activity (Table S1, Lukas et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23935525; Table S1, PMID:27657681 Benjamin 2017). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Additionally, a different amino acid change at this position (p.Ser238Arg) was detected in a newborn with positive screening for Fabry disease (Table 2, Sawada et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31956509). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The p.S238N variant (also known as c.713G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the GLA gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 713. The serine at codon 238 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in Fabry disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cohorts, and appeared to segregate with disease in one family (Monserrat L et al. J Am Coll Cardiol, 2007 Dec;50:2399-403; Echevarria L et al. Clin Genet, 2016 Jan;89:44-54; Jain R et al. JACC Cardiovasc Imaging, 2018 Apr;11:644-647; Vieitez I et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis, 2018 04;13:52; Viswanathan SK et al. PLoS One, 2017 Nov;12:e0187948). In vitro functional studies showed this variant with approximately 37% of wild-type alpha-galactosidase A activity (Lukas J et al. PLoS Genet, 2013 Aug;9:e1003632; Nowak A et al. J Inherit Metab Dis, 2020 03;43:326-333). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
