Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP
The NM_000156.6:c.471T>G variant in GAMT is a missense variant predicted to cause the substitution of a phenylalanine for a leucine at amino acid position 157 (p.Phe157Leu). This variant has been identified in two individuals in the Exome Variant Server database without detailed phenotypic information available (PMID: 26003046). The highest population frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.00002119 (25/1180010 alleles) in the European (Non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). Expression of the variant in HeLa cells resulted in similar activity versus wild-type GAMT, indicating that this variant does not impact protein function (PMID: 26003046) (BS3_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.259 which is below the threshold of 0.29, evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on GAMT function (BP4). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 517082). Although there is conflicting evidence, with two benign criteria were met (BP4 and BS3_Supporting) and one pathogenic criterion met (PM2_Supporting), the consensus from the ClinGen CCDS VCEP is that this variant is likely benign for GAMT deficiency, based upon the in silico and functional evidence. GAMT-specific ACMG/AMP codes met, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0.0): PM2_Supporting, BS3_Supporting, BP4 (classification modified to likely benign) (Classification approved by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel on November 14, 2024)
