The ClinGen Evidence Repository is an FDA-recognized human genetic variant database containing expert-curated assertions regarding variants' pathogenicity and supporting evidence summaries. [Disclaimer]
  • Gene label mismatch: GAMT vs undefined
  • Gene obtained from curated document aligns with the Allele Registry but not with ClinVar data
  • No CSPEC computed assertion could be determined for this classification!

Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP
The NM_000156.6:c.268G>A variant in GAMT is a missense variant that is predicted to result in the substitution of glutamate by lysine at amino acid 90 (p.Glu90Lys). One individual, who is homozygous for this variant, has developmental delay and seizures, in addition to elevated guanidinoacetate in urine and plasma, and low creatine in urine and plasma (PMID: 24440240) (PP4_Moderate, PM3_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.943 which is >0.932, evidence that correlates with impact to GAMT function at the strong level (PMID: 36413997) (PP3_Strong). To our knowledge, the results of functional studies are not available. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.00003384 (3/88658 alleles) in the South Asian population, which is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The variant is noted in ClinVar (Variation ID: 916122). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for GAMT deficiency. GAMT-specific ACMG/AMP codes met, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0.0): PP3_Strong, PP4_Moderate, PM3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel on May 20, 2025)
Met criteria codes
PM3_Supporting
One proband with clinical and biochemical features consistent with GAMT deficiency is homozygous for the variant. 0.5 points (PM3_Supporting).
PP4_Moderate
One proband who is homozygous for the variant has been reported. This individual has developmental delay and seizures, in addition to elevated guanidinoacetate in urine and plasma and low creatine in urine and plasma (PMID: 24440240) (PP4_Moderate).
PP3_Strong
The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.943 which is >0.932, evidence that correlates with impact to GAMT function at the strong level (PMID: 36413997) (PP3_Strong). No impact on splicing is predicted by SpliceAI.
PM2_Supporting
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.00003384 (3/88658 alleles) in the South Asian population, which is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting).
