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]

Collection Method:curation

The c.2190-4G>A variant in GAA has not been previously reported in individuals with Glycogen Storage Disease II but has been reported as a VUS (by Integrated Genetics and EGL Genetic Diagnostics) and a likely benign variant (by GeneDx and Invitae) in ClinVar (Variation ID: 456393). This variant has been identified in 0.02982% (3/10062) of Ashkenazi Jewish chromosomes and 0.02603% (9/34578) of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs759974338). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant is located in the 3' plice region. Computational prediction tools, including splice predictors, and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. Novel synonymous variants supported by computational evidence without raised suspicion for an impact are likely benign (Richards 2015). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely benign. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, BP7, BP4 (Richards 2015). -

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
