Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PP3PM2_SupportingPM3_SupportingPM5PP4_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000156.6:c.403G>T (p.Asp135Tyr) variant in GAMT has been identified in one individual with guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency (PMID:19027335). This variant was identified in 0.001470% (1/68032) of non-Finnish European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) (PM2_Supporting). The patient previously reported was a reported compound heterozygote that carried a pathogenic variant, c.507_521dup15 (p.C169_S173dup; ClinVar Variation ID: 431959), in unknown phase (PM3_Supporting). This individual showed reduced creatine peak on brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy and elevated plasma GAA with low creatine with full GAMT gene sequencing (PP4_Strong). The p.Asp135Tyr variant is a missense variant that is predicted damaging by in-silico missense predictors (REVEL score 0.938) (PP3). A different missense variant at the same amino acid residue, p.Asp135Asn, has been previously reported pathogenic (ClinVar Variation ID: 573140) (PM5). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiency.

Genes affected
GAMT (HGNC:4136): (guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase) The protein encoded by this gene is a methyltransferase that converts guanidoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor. Defects in this gene have been implicated in neurologic syndromes and muscular hypotonia, probably due to creatine deficiency and accumulation of guanidinoacetate in the brain of affected individuals. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 2 and 13. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
