Genes affected
GLA (HGNC:4296): (galactosidase alpha) This gene encodes a homodimeric glycoprotein that hydrolyses the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. This enzyme predominantly hydrolyzes ceramide trihexoside, and it can catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose. A variety of mutations in this gene affect the synthesis, processing, and stability of this enzyme, which causes Fabry disease, a rare lysosomal storage disorder that results from a failure to catabolize alpha-D-galactosyl glycolipid moieties.

RPL36A-HNRNPH2 (HGNC:48349): (RPL36A-HNRNPH2 readthrough) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring ribosomal protein L36a and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (H') genes on chromosome X. The read-through transcript produces a protein with similarity to the protein encoded by the upstream locus, ribosomal protein L36a. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 203 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant X-101398078-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-101398078-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 495689.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

GLA p.Glu341Ter (c.1021G>T) is a nonsense variant that introduces a premature stop codon at amino acid position 341, creating a truncated protein. This variant has been observed in at least one proband affected with Fabry disease (PMID:26691501;30477121). The variant was found to segregate with disease in at least one affected family (PMID:26691501). It is absent or not present at a significant frequency in gnomAD. In conclusion, we classify GLA p.Glu341Ter (c.1021G>T) as a pathogenic variant.

Variant summary: GLA c.1021G>T (p.Glu341X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 182951 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1021G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Fabry Disease and found to have significantly decreased activity (Zizzo_2016). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
