Evidence submitted by expert panel
Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes VCEP
The NM_000156.6:c.402C>G (p.Tyr134Ter) variant in GAMT is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically relevant exon 4/6 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00003 in the South Asian population, which is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP's threshold for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been detected in one individual with GAMT deficiency (PMID: 19027335). This individual had elevated GAA and low creatine in plasma and significantly decreased creatine peak and visible GAA peak on brain MRS with full GAMT gene sequencing (PMID: 19027335) (PP4_Strong). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 947458, 2 star review status) with 3 submitters classifying the variant as pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for GAMT deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 1.1.0): PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PP4_Strong. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes Variant Curation Expert Panel on May 25, 2023)

PVS1
The NM_000156.6:c.402C>G (p.Tyr134Ter) variant in GAMT is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 4/6 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1).
PM2_Supporting
The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00003 in the South Asian population, which is lower than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP's threshold for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting).

Patient 8 (Table 2) is a male, diagnosed with GAMT deficiency at 14 years old; serum creatine (pre-treatment) 4.2 uM/L (normal range) 34–130 uM/L; serum GAA (pre-treatment 33.3 uM/L (normal range 0.7–5.4 uM/L)(2 points); on MRS he had a decreased creatine peak with slight elevation of GAA peak (3 points) (PMID: 19027335). Full GAMT gene sequencing done.

Patient 8 is compound heterozygous for the variant and c.610_611delAGinsGAA (p.Arg204GlufsTer63), phase unknown. The in trans data from this patient will be used in the assessment of c.610_611delAGinsGAA and is not included here to avoid circular logic.
