Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP
The NM_000156.6:c.403G>T (p.Asp135Tyr) variant in GAMT has been identified in one individual with guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency (PMID: 19027335). This variant was identified in 0.001470% (1/68032) of non-Finnish European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) (PM2_Supporting). The patient previously reported was a reported compound heterozygote that carried a pathogenic variant, c.507_521dup15 (p.C169_S173dup; ClinVar Variation ID: 431959), in unknown phase (PM3_Supporting). This individual showed reduced creatine peak on brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy and elevated plasma GAA with low creatine with full GAMT gene sequencing (PP4_Strong). The p.Asp135Tyr variant is a missense variant that is predicted damaging by in-silico missense predictors (REVEL score 0.938) (PP3). A different missense variant at the same amino acid residue, p.Asp135Asn, has been previously reported pathogenic (ClinVar Variation ID: 573140) (PM5). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiency. GAMT-specific ACMG/AMP Criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiencies Variant Curation Expert Panel (CCDS VCEP) (Specifications version 1.1.0): PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PM5, PP3, PP4_Strong (Richards 2015). (Classification approved by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP on March 23, 2023)
Met criteria codes
PM2_Supporting
Identified in 0.001470% (1/68032) of non-Finnish European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD).
PP3
REVEL score 0.938, >0.75 cutoff for use of PP3
PM5
A different missense variant at the same amino acid residue, p.Asp135Asn, has been previously reported pathogenic (ClinVar Variation ID: 573140) and qualifies as pathogenic using the CCDS VCEP specifications for variant classification.
PM3_Supporting
PMID: 19027335: Identified in one individual who was a reported compound heterozygote who carried a reported pathogenic variant (c.507_521dup15 (p.C169_S173dup), ClinVar Variation ID: 431959) in unknown phase (0.5pts)
PP4_Strong
PMID: 19027335: Identified in one affected individual who showed elevated plasma GAA with low creatine (2pts) and reduced ('small') creatine peak with evidence of GAA peak on MRS (3pts) with full GAMT gene sequencing (PP4_Strong)
