Description
The NM_000152.5:c.1076-22T>G variant in GAA occurs within intron 6. Experimental studies show that the variant causes skipping of biologically-relevant-exon 6 resulting in an in-frame deletion of amino acids 319-358 (PMIDs 9259196, 10737124). This includes part of the GAA catalytic barrel (amino acids 347-727) (Kroos et al, 2012, PMID 22253258; Deming et al, 2017; DOI 10.1101/212837) (PVS1_Strong). At least 7 probands have been reported with this variant, at least 5 of them with reported GAA activity <10% normal in lymphocytes, leukocytes or muscle samples, or <30% normal in cultured fibroblasts, or in the affected range in a clinically validated dried blood spot assay (PP4_Moderate). Of these individuals, 6 are compound heterozygous for the variant and another variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP, including 2 confirmed in trans - c.2560C>T (p.Arg854Ter) (ClinVar Variation ID: 4034, SCV001371731.1) (PMID: 9259196), c.1437+1G>A (ClinVar Variation ID: 555864, SCV004227900.1), and 4 with phase unknown - c.1942G>A (p.Gly648Ser) (ClinVar Variation ID: 188902, SCV001371752.2) (PMID: 25455803), c.-32-13T>G (ClinVar Variation ID: 4027) (PMID: 22613277), c.1841C>A (p.Thr614Lys) (ClinVar Variation ID: 167113, SCV001371751.1) (PMID: 21484825), and c.525delT (ClinVar Variation ID: 4033, SCV001443331.1) (PMID: 29181627). In addition, two siblings are homozygous for the variant (PMID: 10737124) (PM3_VeryStrong). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00002658 (3/112848 alleles) in the European non-Finnish population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370278). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for Pompe disease based on the GAA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0): PVS1_Strong, PM3_Strong, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on February 6, 2024).
