The NM_000152.5(GAA):c.1048G>A variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of valine by methionine at amino acid 350 (p.Val350Met). This variant has been detected in at least 12 individuals, and at least 11 patients with this variant had documented GAA deficiency with activity in the affected range in dried blood spot (Clinical Laboratory data, PMIDs: 25451853, 36310651, 36246652). However, due to the absence of clinical symptoms supporting a diagnosis of Pompe disease, PP4 was not applied. Of those individuals, 1 was homozygous for the variant, and 11 were compound heterozygous for the variant and another variant in GAA including c.-32-13T>G (ClinVar Variation ID: 4027, pathogenic based on classification by the ClinGen LD VCEP, 9 patients, Clinical laboratory data, PMID:25451853, 1 patient confirmed in trans), c.2051C>T (p.Pro684Leu) (1 patient, PMID:36310651, phase unknown), c.1589del (p.Glu530GlyfsTer48) (1 patient, PMID: 36246652, phase unknown), and c.2238G>C (p.Trp746Cys) (2 patients, one confirmed in trans and one with a pseudodeficiency allele, Clinical Laboratory data). The allelic data from these patients was not included at this time due to the caveats noted for PP4 (PM3_not met). When expressed in HEK293 cells, GAA enzyme activity was 1.5% of the positive control, and Western blot revealed a faint precursor (110 k Da) and mature (76 kDa) protein bands with lower intensity compared to the positive control, indicating this variant may be impacting GAA protein stability and processing ( PMID: 36246652) (PS3_Supporting). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00008305 (90/1180054 alleles) in the European non-Finnish population, which is lower than the ClinGen LD VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.878 which is above the threshold of 0.7, evidence that correlates with impact to GAA function (PP3). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555998). In summary, while individuals with this variant have been reported with deficient GAA activity, and the variant has been found in compound heterozygosity with pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in GAA, the Lysosomal Diseases VCEP concluded that there is insufficient phenotypic evidence to indicate that this variant causes Pompe disease at this time. Therefore, this variant will be classified as a variant of uncertain significance until further evidence is available. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0.0): PS3_Supporting, PP3, PM2_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on August 5, 2025).

PS3_Supporting
When expressed in HEK293 cells GAA enzyme activity was 1.5% of the positive control (Table 3). Western blot revealed faint precursor (110 k Da) and mature (76 kDa) protein bands with lower intensity compared to the positive control, indicating this variant may be impacting GAA protein stability and processing (PMID: 36246652) (PS3_Supporting).
PP3
The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.878 which is above the threshold of 0.7, evidence that correlates with impact to GAA function (PP3).
PM2_Supporting
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00008305 (90/1180054 alleles) in the European non-Finnish population, which is lower than the ClinGen LD VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting).

However, in the absence of clinical symptoms to support that the variant causes Pompe disease, PP4 was not applied.

This variant has been detected in at least 12 individuals.
