Criteria Specifications for this VCEP
Evidence submitted by expert panel
Lysosomal Diseases VCEP
This variant, c.2238G>A (p.Trp746Ter), is a nonsense variant, predicted to result in nonsense mediated decay and lack of gene product, meeting PVS1. This is supported by the finding that patients with this variant have no GAA cross-reactive immunological material in protein isolated from cultured skin fibroblasts (i.e. CRIM-negative) (PMID 22252923), as well as functional studies in which there was no measurable GAA activity when the variant was expressed in HEK-293 cells (PMID 23430493). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00004 in the African population, meeting PM2. This variant has been reported in 3 patients who meet the ClinGen LSD VCEP’s specifications for PP4. Two of these patients are compound heterozygous for pathogenic variants, either c.-32-13T>G or c.1826dupA (PMIDs 16860134, 22613277, 25741864). The phase is unknown. This data meets PM3. Another patient is compound heterozygous for the variant and c.1843G>A (p.Gly615Arg). This in trans data was used in the assessment of p.Gly615Arg and therefore was not included here in order to avoid circular logic. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (ClinVar variation ID: 270904, 2 star review status) with 3 submitters classifying the variant as pathogenic and one as likely 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, PP4
Met criteria codes
PS3
When expressed in HEK293 cells, this variant results in abnormal GAA processing and absent GAA activity in cells and medium.
PP4
At least three individuals with this variant have been reported with deficient enzyme activity in fibroblasts (<10% normal activity) and muscle tissue (<10% normal activity), meeting PP4 based on the ClinGen LSD VCEP's specifications (PMIDs 16860134, 22613277, 25741864 - personal communication).
PM3
This variant has been reported in 3 patients who meet the ClinGen LSD VCEP’s specifications for PP4. Two of these patients are compound heterozygous for pathogenic variants - either c.-32-13T>G or c.1826dupA (PMIDs 16860134, 22613277, 25741864). Another patient is compound heterozygous for or c.1843G>A (p.Gly615Arg) but the in trans data was used in the assessment of p.Gly615Arg and therefore was not included here to avoid circular logic. The phase of the variants in these cases is unknown. Based on the ClinGen LSD VCEP's guidelines, this data was given a total of 1 point which meets PM3.
PVS1
This is a nonsense variant, predicted to result in nonsense mediated decay resulting and lack of gene product meeting PVS1. This is supported by the finding that patients with this variant have no GAA cross-reactive immunological material in protein isolated from cultured skin fibroblasts (i.e. CRIM-negative) (PMID 22252923), as well as functional studies in which the variant had no measurable GAA activity when expressed in HEK-293 cells (PMID 23430493).
PM2
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00004 (African) which is lower than the ClinGen LSD VCEP threshold (<0.001) for PM2, meeting this criterion.
