Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP
The NM_000156.6:c.274A>G variant in GAMT is a missense variant predicted to cause the substitution of an asparagine by an aspartate at amino acid position 92 (p.Asn92Asp). This variant has been previously reported in one individual with elevated urine guanidinoacetate and low urine creatine (PP4) who was homozygous for the variant (PMID: 19288536, 24415674, 33996490) (PM3_Supporting). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0. is 0.000001705 (2/1172782 alleles; no homozygotes) 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). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.92, evidence that correlates with impact to GAMT function (PP3_Moderate applied for REVEL score range 0.773-0.932). This variant was shown to result in <15% GAMT enzymatic activity when transfected into GAMT-deficient fibroblasts (PMID: 24415674) (PS3_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2446453). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for GAMT deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0.0): PS3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PP3_Moderate, PP4. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel on September 11, 2024).
Met criteria codes
PM3_Supporting
Identified in one individual with guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency, who was a homozygote for the variant (0.5pts) (PMID: 19288536)
PP4
Identified in one individual who showed elevated urine GAA with low creatine (1pt, PP4_Supporting) (PMID: 19288536, 24415674, 33996490)
PP3_Moderate
The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.92, evidence that correlates with impact to GAMT function (PP3_Moderate applied for REVEL score range 0.773-0.932).
PM2_Supporting
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.000001705 (2/1172782 alleles; no homozygotes) 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).
PS3_Supporting
PMID 24415674: Shown to result in <5% of wild-type GAMT enzyme activity in GAMT-deficient fibroblasts
