The NM_000152.5:c.2455C>T variant in GAA is predicted to result in the substitution of arginine by tryptophan at amino acid 819 (p.Arg819Trp). Two patients with this variant have been reported, both with documented values showing reduced GAA activity, and one with confirmed absence of pseudodeficiency variants (Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory, PMID: 33741225) (PP4_Moderate). One of these patients is compound heterozygous for the variant, in trans (based on testing of one parent) with a pathogenic variant in GAA, c.-32-13T>G (Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory). The other patient is compound heterozygous for the variant and c.2189+5_2189+8delGTGA. The allelic data from this patient will be used in the classification of the intronic variant and is not included here to avoid circular logic (PM3). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.0 is 0.00006687 (4/59818 alleles) in the Admixed American population, which is lower than the ClinGen LD VCEP's threshold (<0.001) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion. The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.822 which is above the threshold of 0.7, evidence that correlates with impact to GAA function (PP3). Another missense variant at this same amino acid position (c.2456 G>C, p.Arg819Pro) has been reported in individuals with Pompe disease (PMID: 22252923). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 456402). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely apthogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Clingen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0): PM3, PP4_Moderate, PP3, PM2_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on December 20, 2023).
Met criteria codes
PP3
The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.822 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 v4.0 is 0.00006687 (4/59818 alleles) in the admixed American population, which is lower than the ClinGen LD VCEP's threshold (<0.001) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion.
PP4_Moderate
Two patients with this variant have been reported, both with documented values showing reduced GAA activity, and one with confirmed absence of pseudodeficiency variants (Duke Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory, PMID: 33741225) (PP4_Moderate).
PM3
One patient is compounf heterozygous for the variant, in trans (based on testing of one parent) with a pathogenic variant in GAA (Duke Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory) (1 point). Another patient is compound heterozygous for the variant and c.2189+5_2189+8delGTGA (rare, SpliceAI predicts that this variant disrupts the donor splice site); phase unknown. The allelic data from this patient will be used in the classification of the intronic variant and is not included here to avoid circular logic. Total 1 point (PM3).
Not Met criteria codes
PM5
Another missense variant at this same amino acid position (c.2456 G>C, p.Arg819Pro) has been reported in individuals with Pompe disease (PMID: 22252923). This variant has not yet been classified by the ClinGen LD VCEP.
