Lysosomal Diseases VCEP
The NM_000152.5: c.1099T>C (p.Trp367Arg) variant in GAA is a missense variant with a highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.0.0 of 0.0000013 (1/761904 alleles) in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases (LD) VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been reported in at least 3 patients with a diagnosis of infantile onset Pompe disease (IOPD) with documented deficient GAA activity and/or on enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) (PMID: 17056254‚ 22658377, 23787031, 25139343, 31510962); it was also reported in one patient of late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) (PMID: 22958975) (PP4_Moderate). This variant was found to be homozygous in one Spanish-Italian patient with IOPD and was confirmed to be inherited from both parents (PMID: 17056254). At least one Hispanic patient with IOPD under ERT (PMID: 22658377, 23787031, 25139343) was found to be compound heterozygous (phase unknown) for this variant and c.1802C>T (p.Ser601Leu), a GAA variant classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP. This variant was confirmed to be in trans with c.1942G>A (p.Gly648Ser), a GAA variant classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP, in a Thailand patient with IOPD (PMID: 31510962). One Italian patient with LOPD was reported to be compound heterozygous (phase unknown) for the variant and c.-32-13T>G, the most common pathogenic GAA variant associated with LOPD (PMID: 22958975) (PM3_Strong). Expression of the variant in COS-7 cells resulted in <2% wild type GAA activity without mature processed GAA protein on immunoblots, indicating a negative impact on GAA function (PMID: 19862843) (PS3_Supporting). The computational meta-predictor REVEL has a score of 0.944 for the variant, which is above the threshold of 0.7, indicating a negative impact on GAA function (PP3). Another missense variant, c.1099T>G (p.Trp367Gly), in the same codon has been reported in a patient with LOPD (PMID: 29124014). However, the data for p.Trp367Arg will be used in the assessment of p.Trp367Gly and therefore PM5 is not met here in order to avoid circular argument. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555820). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen LD VCEP (Specifications Version 2.0): PM3_Strong, PP4_Moderate, PP3, PS3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen LD VCEP, on December 5, 2023).
Met criteria codes
PM3_Strong
This variant was found to be homozygous in one Spanish-Italian patient with infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) and was confirmed to be inherited from both parents (PMID: 17056254). At least one Hispanic patient with IOPD under ERT (PMID: 22658377, 23787031, 25139343) was found to be compound heterozygous (phase unknown) for this variant and c.1802C>T (p.Ser601Leu), a GAA variant classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP. This variant was confirmed to be in trans with c.1942G>A (p.Gly648Ser), a GAA variant classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP, in a Thailand patient with IOPD (PMID: 31510962). One Italian patient of late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) was reported to be compound heterozygous (phase unknown) for the variant and c.-32-13T>G, the most common pathogenic GAA variant associated with LOPD (PMID: 22958975) (PM3_Strong).
PP3
The computational meta-predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.944, which is above the threshold of 0.7, indicating a deleterious impact to GAA function (PP3).
PP4_Moderate
This variant has been reported in at least 3 patients with a diagnosis of infantile onset Pompe disease (IOPD) with documented deficient GAA activity and/or on enzyme replacement therapy (PMID: 17056254‚ 22658377, 23787031, 25139343, 31510962); it was also reported in one patient of late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) (PMID: 22958975) (PP4_Moderate).
PM2_Supporting
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.0.0 is 0.0000013 (1/761904 alleles) in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting).
PS3_Supporting
Expression of the variant in COS-7 cells resulted in <2% wild type GAA activity without mature processed GAA protein on immunoblots, indicating that the variant may impact protein function (Flanagan et al, 2009, PMID: 19862843) (PS3_Supporting).

PM5
Another missense variant, c.1099T>G (p.Trp367Gly), in the same codon has been reported in a patients with late-onset Pompe disease (Fukuhara et al, 2017, PMID: 29124014). However, the data for p.Trp367Arg will be used in the assessment of p.Trp367Gly and therefore PM5 is not met here in order to avoid circular logic (PM5 not met).
