Lysosomal Diseases VCEP
The NM_000152.5(GAA):c.643G>T (p.Glu215Ter) variant in GAA is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 3/20, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). One patient with this variant has been reported with late onset Pompe disease, however, GAA enzyme activity levels were not provided. This patient is compound heterozygous for the c.643G>T (p.Glu215Ter) variant and a variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP, c.-32-13T>G. The phase of the variants is unknown (PM3_Supporting). While this patient was diagnosed with late onset Pompe disease, GAA enzyme activity values were not provided. As a result, PP4 was not applied (PMID: 19588081). The variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1.0. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 935900; 1 star review status) with one submitter classifying the variant as pathogenic. In summary, the variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied (Specifications version 2.0.0): PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on December 16, 2025).

PVS1
The NM_000152.5:c.643G>T (p.Glu215Ter) variant in GAA is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 3/20, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1).
PM3_Supporting
This variant has been detected in at least one individual with Pompe disease. This patient was compound heterozygous for the variant and a variant classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (c.-32-13T>G). Phase of the variants was not confirmed. 0.5 Points. PM3_Supporting.
PM2_Supporting
This variant is absent in gnomAD v4.1.0. (PM2_Supporting).
Not Met criteria codes
PP4
At least one patient with this variant was diagnosed with Pompe disease. Diagnosis was based on neurological examination, muscular biopsy findings from biceps brachialis, autopsy findings, paraffin-embedded cardiac biopsy and dry-blood spot analysis. GAA enzyme activity results were not provided. PP4 was not applied.
