Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP
The NM_000156.6:c.145del (p.Tyr49Ilefs*65) variant in GAMT is a frameshift variant that is predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 3/6, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). A Spanish patient, who is homozygous for the variant, has been reported with clinical symptoms consistent with GAMT deficiency, elevated guanidinoacetate in urine and plasma, and deficient GAMT activity in fibroblasts (PMID: 19892372, 21140503) (PP4_Strong, PM3_Supporting). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.0000373 (1/26808 alleles) in the Lation/Admixed American population, which is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 695019). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for GAMT deficiency. GAMT-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel (CCDS VCEP) (Specifications Version 1.1.0): PVS1, PP4_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP on Sept. 14, 2023)

PM2_Supporting
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.0000373 (1/26808 alleles) in the Lation/Admixed American population, which is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0004), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting).
PM3_Supporting
One patient has been reported who is homozygous for the variant (PMID: 19892372, 21140503).
PVS1
The NM_000156.6:c.145del (p.Tyr49Ilefs*65) variant in GAMT is a frameshift variant that is predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 3/6, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1).
PP4
A Spanish patient has been reported with clinical symptoms consistent with GAMT deficiency, elevated guanidinoacetate in urine and plasma, and deficient GAMT activity in fibroblasts (PMID: 19892372, 21140503) (PP4_Strong).
