Evidence submitted by expert panel
Lysosomal Diseases VCEP
This variant, c.2662G>T (p.Glu888Ter), is a nonsense variant that is predicted to result in nonsense-mediated decay and lack of gene product, meeting PVS1. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00027 in the East Asian population, meeting PM2. At least 6 patients have been reported with this variant and deficiency of GAA activity meeting the ClinGen LSD VCEP’s PP4 specifications. One of these individuals is compound heterozygous for the variant and c.-32-13T>G, phase unknown (PMID 16531044), and another is homozygous for the variant (PMID 17723315). This data meets PM3. Other individuals meeting PP4 specifications are compound heterozygous for the variant and either c.1574T>A (p.Phe525Tyr) (PMID 21232767), c.1935C>A (p.Asp645Glu) (PMID 18458862), or c.2238G>C (p.Trp746Cys) (PMID 25526786). However in each case, the in trans data from these patients will be used in the assessment of the other variant and was not used here in order to avoid a circular argument. Additional cases with the variant have been reported but were not included because the residual GAA activity was not provided, and therefore PP4 cannot be assessed (PMIDs 24269976, 25455803, 25626711, 27417441, 28394184, 31743840), or the patient carried a pseudodeficiency allele (PMID 21232767). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 578595) with two submitters classifying the variant as 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
PM2
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00027 (E. Asian) which is lower than the ClinGen LSD VCEP threshold (<0.001) for PM2, meeting this criterion.
PM3
At least 6 patients have been reported with this variant and deficiency of GAA activity meeting the ClinGen LSD VCEP’s PP4 specifications. One of these individuals is compound heterozygous for the variant and c.-32-13T>G, phase unknown (PMID 16531044; 0.5 points), and another is homozygous for the variant (PMID 17723315; 0.5 points). A total of one point was given, meeting PM3. Other individuals meeting PP4 specifications are compound heterozygous for the variant and either c.1574T>A (p.Phe525Tyr) (PMID 21232767), c.1935C>A (p.Asp645Glu) (PMID 18458862), or c.2238G>C (p.Trp746Cys) (PMID 25526786). However in each case, the in trans data from these patients will be used in the assessment of the other variant and was not used here in order to avoid a circular argument. Additional cases with the variant have been reported but were not included because the residual GAA activity was not provided, and therefore PP4 cannot be assessed (PMIDs 24269976, 25455803, 25626711, 27417441, 28394184, 31743840), or the patient carried a pseudodeficiency allele (PMID 21232767).

PVS1
This is a nonsense variant which is predicted to result in nonsense mediated decay and lack of gene product, meeting PVS1.
PP4
At least 6 patients have been reported with have been reported with this variant and GAA activity <10% normal in lymphocytes, leukocytes, or muscle samples, or <30% normal activity in cultured fibroblasts, or in the affected range in a GAA activity assay (PMIDs 16531044, 17723315, 18458862, 21232767, 25526786). This meets the specifications for PP4.
