Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PP2PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001128227.3(GNE):c.740T>C(p.Val247Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000707 in 1,611,924 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. V247V) has been classified as Likely benign.

Variant summary: GNE c.740T>C (p.Val247Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase domain (IPR003331) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251348 control chromosomes. c.740T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Inclusion Body Myopathy 2 (example, Vasconcelos_2002, Gottileb_2005, Chaouch_2014, Patzel_2014, Chrisman_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Sparks_2005). The most pronounced variant effect results in <2% of normal epimerase activity in-vitro. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Functional studies have shown that the V216A variant reduces GNE enzyme activity (Sparks et al., 2005).; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24695763, 19917666, 33214394, 30564623, 15987957, 14972325, 25002140, 12473769) -
Sialuria;C1853926:GNE myopathy Pathogenic:2
This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 247 of the GNE protein (p.Val247Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs779694939, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive myopathy (PMID: 12473769, 24136589, 24695763). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Val216Ala. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218297). 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) has been performed at Invitae 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 GNE protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GNE function (PMID: 15987957). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
