Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PP3PM2_SupportingPM3PS3_SupportingPP4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000152.5:c.1309C>T variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by cysteine at amino acid 437 (p.Arg437Cys). This variant has been reported in at least 16 East Asian individuals with late onset Pompe disease (PMID:34356580) including 11 individuals with documented laboratory values reporting GAA activity <10% normal in muscle or skin fibroblasts or in the affected range in a clinically validated dried blood spot assay and/or histological features consistent with Pompe disease in muscle, and/or on enzyme replacement therapy for Pompe disease (PMID 22521436, 29786057, 27692865, 30360039)(PP4_Moderate). Ten individuals are reported to be compound heterozygous for the variant and another variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LSD VCEP including one confirmed in trans, c.1082C>T (p.Pro361Leu) (PMID:12601120), and 9 phase unknown, c.796C>T (p.Pro266Ser) (PMID:25526786), c.1082C>T (p.Pro361Leu) (PMID:27692865), c.1316T>A (p.Met439Lys) (PMID:25388776), c.1822C>T (p.Arg608Ter) (PMID:30360039), c.1978C>T (p.Arg600Cys) (PMID:29124014, 3 probands), c.2238G>C (p.Trp746Cys) (PMID:27692865), c.2297A>G (p.Tyr766Cys) (PMID:29124014) (PM3_VeryStrong). The variant has also been reported in compound heterozygosity with c.1544T>A (p.Met515Lys) (PMID:24190153), c.1562A>T (p.Glu521Val) (PMID:29786057), c.1857C>G (p.Ser619Arg) (PMID:291240140, c.2051C>A (p.Pro684Gln) (PMID:29451150), c.2177C>G (p.Pro726Arg) (PMID:29124014), and c.2297A>C (p.Tyr766Ser) (PMID:22521436). The allelic data from these patients will be used in the classification of the second variant and is not included here in order to avoid circular logic. Additional patients have also been reported but the data was not included because the cDNA sequences of the variants was not included (PMID:18495398, 21471980, 21704464). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00009 (2/21914 alleles) in the African population, which is lower than the ClinGen LSD VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). Expression of the variant in Ad5-SV40 immortalized human GAA-deficient fibroblast cells showed no detectable GAA enzyme activity, and another study showed abnormal synthesis and processing of GAA when the variant was expressed in COS cells, indicating that this variant may impact protein function (PMID:12601120, 19862843)(PS3_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.782, which is above the threshold of 0.7, evidence that correlates with impact to GAA function (PP3). A novel variant at the same amino acid position, c.1310G>A (p.Arg437His) has been reported in a patient with Pompe disease (PMID:25681614) but has not yet been classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by the ClinGen LSD VCEP and, therefore, PM5 is not applied. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189082, 2 star review status) with 6 submitters classifying the variant as pathogenic and two as likely pathogenic). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LSD VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0): PM3_VeryStrong, PP4_Moderate, PP3, PS3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting.

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]
