Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 1P and 0B. PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5:c.725C>A variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Ala by Glu at amino acid 242 (p.Ala242Glu). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00028 (7/24910 alleles) in the African population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2 (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.528 which is neither above nor below the thresholds predicting a damaging (>0.7) or benign (<0.5) impact on GAA function (neither PP3 nor BP4 is met). It has not been reported in the literature as causative for GAA-related disease, but has been observed in 9 asymptomatic newborn screening cases by a clinical testing laboratory cases. In those cases, the c.1630G>A (p.Val544Met) variant (ClinVar Variation ID; 450358), classified as a variant of uncertain significance by the ClinGen LD VCEP on June 6, 2024), was always present suggesting that the two variants are in cis. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 642648). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Uncertain significance for Pompe disease based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert panel (specifications Version 2.0): PM2_supporting.(Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on May 21, 2024).

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]

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 242 of the GAA protein (p.Ala242Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs745861849, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GAA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 642648). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on GAA protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The GAA c.725C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala242Glu. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. Two variants affecting the same amino acid residue (c.725C>T Ala242Val and c.726G>A Ala242Ala) have been reported in individuals with glycogen storage disease 2 (c.725C>T Ala242Val reported in Kroos et al 2008. PubMed ID: 18425781; c.726G>A Ala242Ala reported in Gragnaniello et al 2022. PubMed ID: 36310651). This variant is reported in 0.028% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/17-78081388-C-A). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
