Lysosomal Diseases VCEP

The NM_000152.5:c.437del (p.Met146ArgfsTer7) variant in GAA is a frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically relevant exon 2/20 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). The variant was found in compound heterozygosity with a pathogenic variant in two patients who meet the ClinGen LSD VCEP's PP4 specifications; one with c.2237G>A (p.Trp746Ter) (PMID 26693141), and the other with c.2481+102_2646+31del (PMID 22658377)(PP4_Moderate, PM3_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554096, 1 star review status) with one submitter classifying the variant as likely pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LSD VCEP (specification version 2.0): PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PP4_Moderate.

PVS1

This is a frameshift variant which is predicted to result in a premature termination codon, nonsense mediated decay, and lack gene product. Therefore, PVS1 can be applied. Furthermore, and individual who was compound heterozygous for the variant and another loss of function variant had no GAA cross reactive immunological material in cultured skin fibroblasts (PMID 26693141) supporting that c.437del results in lack of gene product.

PM3_Supporting

This variant has been detected in at least 2 individuals with Pompe disease. Of those individuals, 1 was compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant (p.Trp746X, PMID: 26693141, 0.5 pt) (PM3_Supporting).

PM2_Supporting

This variant is absent in gnomAD, meeting PM2_Supporting.

PP4_Moderate

At least 2 patient(s) with this variant had documented GAA deficiency with <10% of normal mean control level of GAA activity in leukocytes, lymphocytes, muscle samples, or were reported to be on enzyme replacement therapy for Pompe disease (PP4_Moderate).
