The NM_000152.5:c.1437G>C (p.Lys479Asn) variant in GAA alters the last nucleotide of exon 9. The computational predictor SpliceAI predicts that this variant may impact splicing (score for loss of the intron 10 donor splice site = 0.37; possible donor gain 175 bp downstream) (PP3). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.608 which is neither above nor below the thresholds predicting a damaging (>0.7) or benign (<0.5) impact on GAA function. Three probands have been reported with the variant, all with infantile onset Pompe disease and documented values showing GAA activity in the affected range. One of the patients was on enzyme replacement therapy (PMID: 18458862, 31510962, 32711049) (PP4_Moderate). Two probands are compound heterozygous for the variant and another variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP, c.1935C>A (p.Asp645Glu) (ClinVar Variation ID: 4029; SCV002032138.1) (PMID: 18458862, 32711049, 2 x 0.5 points) (PM3). Another proband is compound heterozygous for the variant, confirmed in trans with c.1327-2A>G (PMID: 31510962). The allelic data from this patient will be used in the assessment of the splicing variant and is not included here to avoid circular logic. The variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1. and v4.1.0. (PM2_Supporting). Other variants of the same splice region have been reported in patients with Pompe disease including c.1437+1G>A (likely pathogenic based on classification by the ClinGen LD VCEP); and c.1437+2T>C (pathogenic based on classification by the ClinGen LD VCEP). However, the SpliceAI score for donor loss is lower than for these other variants, and therefore PS1 was not applied at any strength (see Table 2, PMID: 37352859). There is a ClinVar entry for the variant (Variation ID: 3241647). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications version 2.0): PM3, PP4_Moderate, PP3, PM2_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on September 17, 2024)

PM2_Supporting
The variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1. and v4.1.0. (PM2_Supporting).
PP4_Moderate
Three probands have been reported with the variant, all with infantile onset Pompe disease and documented values showing GAA activity in the affected range. One of the patients was on enzyme replacement therapy (PMID: 18458862, 31510962, 32711049) (PP4_Moderate).
PP3
The NM_000152.5:c.1437G>C (p.Lys479Asn) variant in GAA alters the last nucleotide of exon 9. The computational predictor SpliceAI predicts that this variant may impact splicing (score for loss of the intron10 donor splice site = 0.37; possible donor gain 175 bp downstream) (PP3). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.608 which is neither above nor below the thresholds predicting a damaging (>0.7) or benign (<0.5) impact on GAA function.
PM3
Two probands are compound heterozygous for the variant and another variant in GAA that has been clasified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP, c.1935C>A (p.Asp645Glu) (ClinVar Variation ID: 4029; SCV002032138.1) (PMID: 18458862, 32711049, 2 x 0.5 points).

The allelic data from the patient will be used in the assessment of the splicing variant and is not included here to avoid circular logic. Total 1 point (PM3).

PS1
Other variants of the same splice region have been reported in patients with Pompe disease including c.1437+1G>A (likely pathogenic based on classification by the ClinGen LD VCEP); and c.1437+2T>C (pathogenic based on classification by the ClinGen LD VCEP). However, the SpliceAI score for donor loss is lower than for these other variants, and therefore PS1 was not applied at any strength (see Table 2, PMID: 37352859).
