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 label mismatch: GAMT vs undefined
  • 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!

Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP
The NM_000156.6:c.623G>A variant in GAMT is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by histidine at amino acid 208 (p.Arg208His). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.0001114 (5/44894 alleles) in the East Asian population. This is lower that the ClinGen CCDS VCEP's threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), therefore meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.279 which is below the threshold of 0.29, evidence that correlates with no impact to GAMT function (BP4). In addition, SpliceAI predicts that the variant will have no impact on splicing. Two additional missense variants at this amino acid position have been reported - c.622C>T (p.Arg208Cys) (ClinVarID: 5442618) and c.623G>C (p.Arg208Pro) (PMID 24415674). The ClinGen CCDS VCEP has classified p.Arg208Pro as likely pathogenic, while p.Arg208Cys has been classified as a VUS (PM5_Supporting). To our knowledge, c.623G>A (p.Arg208His) has not been previously reported in the published literature, but has been noted in ClinVar (ClinVar ID 577478). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for GAMT deficiency. GAMT-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0.0.: PM2_Supporting, PM5_Supporting, BP4. (Classification approved by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP on April 28, 2025).
Met criteria codes
PM2_Supporting
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.0001114 (5/44894 alleles) in the East Asian population. This is lower that the ClinGen CCDS VCEP's threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), therefore meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting)
BP4
The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.279 which is below the threshold of 0.29, evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on GAMT function (BP4). SpliceAI predicts that the variant will not have impact on splicing.
PM5_Supporting
Two additional missense variants at this amino acid position have been reported - c.622C>T (p.Arg208Cys) (ClinVarID: 5442618) and c.623G>C (p.Arg208Pro) (PMID 24415674). The ClinGen CCDS VCEP has classified p.Arg208Pro as likely pathogenic, while p.Arg208Cys has been classified as a VUS (PM5_Supporting).
