Lysosomal Diseases VCEP
The NM_000152.5:c.2799+4A>G is located in the donor splice site region of intron 19, the final intron of GAA. The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.62 for donor loss, predicting that the variant disrupts the donor splice site of this intron (PP3). Two individuals with Pompe disease have been reported to have this variant; one has documentation of deficient GAA activity and is on enzyme replacement therapy (PMID: 26873529) (PP4_Moderate), and the second patient has limb girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 30564623). Both individuals are compound heterozygous for this variant and another variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP, either c.1548G>A (p.Trp516Ter) (PMID: 26873529) or c.2501_2502delCA (PMID: 30564623); the phase is unknown in each case (PM3). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00006 (1/16172 alleles) in the African population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). Additional variants in this splice region have been identified, including c.2799+2C>T, c.2799+2C>A, and c.2799+5G>A (PMID: 28265479); all currently classified by the ClinGen LD VCEP as variants of uncertain significance. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likley pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0): PM3, PP4_Moderate, PP3, PM2_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP, June 27, 2023)

PP3
The NM_000152.5:c.2799+4A>G is located in the donor splice site region of intron 19, the final intron of GAA. The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.62 for donor loss, predicting that the variant disrupts the donor splice site of this intron (PP3).
PP4_Moderate
Two individuals with Pompe disease have been reported to have this variant; one has documentation of deficient GAA activity and is on enzyme replacement therapy (PMID: 26873529), meeting the specifications of the ClinGen LD VCEP for PP4_Moderate.
PM3
Two individuals have been reported who are compound heterozygous for this variant and another variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP, including c.1548G>A (p.Trp516Ter) (PMID: 26873529) and c.2501_2502delCA (PMID: 30564623); the phase is unknown in each case. Points 2 x 0.5 = 1 point (PM3).
PM2_Supporting
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00006 (1/16172 alleles) in the African population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting).
Not Met criteria codes
PS1
