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]

Likely pathogenic, reviewed by expert panel	curation	ClinGen Lysosomal Storage Disorder Variant Curation Expert Panel	Jun 27, 2023	The NM_000152.5:c.2799+4A>G is located in the donor splice site region of intron 19, the final intron of GAA. The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.62 for donor loss, predicting that the variant disrupts the donor splice site of this intron (PP3). Two individuals with Pompe disease have been reported to have this variant; one has documentation of deficient GAA activity and is on enzyme replacement therapy (PMID: 26873529) (PP4_Moderate), and the second patient has limb girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 30564623). Both individuals are compound heterozygous for this variant and another variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP, either c.1548G>A (p.Trp516Ter) (PMID: 26873529) or c.2501_2502delCA (PMID: 30564623); the phase is unknown in each case (PM3). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00006 (1/16172 alleles) in the African population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). Additional variants in this splice region have been identified, including c.2799+2C>T, c.2799+2C>A, and c.2799+5G>A (PMID: 28265479); all currently classified by the ClinGen LD VCEP as variants of uncertain significance. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likley pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0): PM3, PP4_Moderate, PP3, PM2_Supporting.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Sep 05, 2021	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 06, 2024	This sequence change falls in intron 19 of the GAA gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the GAA protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs778032599, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of GAA-related conditions (PMID: 26873529, 30564623; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 286228). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
