Evidence submitted by expert panel
Lysosomal Diseases VCEP
This variant, c.1075G>T (p.Gly359Ter), is predicted to result in a premature stop codon and nonsense-mediated decay, resulting in lack of gene product. Of note, the variant alters the last nucleotide of exon 6 and splicing predictors indicate that splicing may be impacted. The impact of a splicing defect, if it occurs, is not known. However, a patient with infantile onset Pompe disease who is homozygous for the variant has no GAA cross reactive immunological material in cultured skin fibroblasts i.e. CRIM-negative, indicating that the variant results in lack of GAA protein. Based on this data, PVS1 was applied. This patient, who has infantile onset Pompe disease, also has low residual GAA activity, meeting PP4, and is homozygous for the variant, meeting PM3_Supporting. The variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 meeting PM2. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420101, 2 star review status) with two submitters classifying the variant as pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LSD VCEP: PVS1, PM2, PM3_Supporting, PP4.
Met criteria codes
PVS1
This is a nonsense variant which is predicted to cause nonsense mediated decay resulting in no gene product. Of note, the variant alters the last nucleotide of exon 6 and, as such, may alter splicing. Another variant at this position, c.1075G>A, has been shown to impact splicing (PMID 32222271). In addition, in silico predictors indicate that splicing may be affected; the variant reduces the MaxEnt scan score from 4.66 to 2.69, SpliceAI gives a score of 0.73 for donor loss, and VarSeak predicts a Class 4/likely splicing effect. The impact of a splicing defect, if it occurs, is not known. However, a patient with infantile onset Pompe disease who is homozygous for the variant has no GAA cross reactive immunological material in cultured skin fibroblasts i.e. CRIM-negative, indicating the the variant results in lack of GAA protein. Based on this data, PVS1 was applied.
PM3_Supporting
One patient has been reported who is homozygous for this variant (19775921, 25741864, 29122469) and meets PP4. 0.5 points were given, meeting PM3_Supporting.

PP4
One patient has been reported with reduced GAA activity in skin fibroblasts meeting PP4 (personal communication) (PMIDs 25741864, 29122469).
PM2
This variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1.
