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 obtained from curated document aligns with the Allele Registry but not with ClinVar data
  • No CSPEC computed assertion could be determined for this classification!

The NM_000152.5:c.2161G>T (p.Glu721Ter) variant in GAA is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 15/20, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). At least 2 patients diagnosed with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) have been reported with this variant. One patient had documented GAA deficiency with <10% of normal mean control level of GAA activity in lymphocytes and the other patient had GAA activity in the affected range in dried blood spot (PMIDs: 25526786, 35071497) (PP4_Moderate). Of those individuals, one was compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic variant (c.1561G>A (p.Glu521Lys), PMID: 25526786), phase unconfirmed; and one was compound heterozygous for the variant and a variant not yet evaluated by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (c.1409A>G (p.Asn470Ser), PMID: 35071497). (PM3_Supporting). This variant is absent in gnomAD v4.1.0. (PM2_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1322967). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0): PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PP4_Moderate. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on November 9, 2025).
Met criteria codes
PVS1
The NM_000152.5:c.2161G>T (p.Glu721Ter) variant in GAA is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 15/20, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1).
PP4_Moderate
At least 2 patients diagnosed with LOPD have been reported with this variant. One patient had documented GAA deficiency with <10% of normal mean control level of GAA activity in lymphocytes and the other patient had activity in the affected range in dried blood spot (PMIDs: 25526786, 35071497) (PP4_Moderate).
PM3_Supporting
This variant has been detected in at least 2 individuals with LOPD. Of those individuals, one was compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic variant (c.1561G>A (p.Glu521Lys), PMID: 25526786), phase unconfirmed (0.5 points); and one was compound heterozygous for the variant and a variant not yet evaluated by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (c.1409A>G (p.Asn470Ser), PMID: 35071497). (PM3_Supporting).
PM2_Supporting
This variant is absent in gnomAD v4.1.0. (PM2_Supporting).
