Description
The NM_000152.5(GAA):c.2456G>C variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by proline at amino acid 819 (p.Arg819Pro). This variant has been detected in at least 6 individuals with Pompe disease (PMID: 22644586, 22252923, 30214072) with deficient GAA activity. Of those individuals, one was compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic variant and one was homozygous for the variant (PMID: 30214072, internal lab data), meeting PP4_Moderate and PM3. It is absent in gnomAD, meeting PM2. Functional assays support a deleterious effect of this variant, when expressed in COS cells, this variant was classified as Class B ("potentially less severe") by Kroos et al, 2012 (PMID:22644586). This includes 0.4% GAA activity in cells and 2.0% in medium, and evidence of abnormal synthesis and processing on Western blot. This meets the ClinGen LSD VCEP specifications for PS3_Moderate. Computational evidence also supports a deleterious effect; REVEL score = 0.926 which is higher than the LSD VCEP threshold for PP3 (>0.7) and therefore meets this criterion. Another missense variant [c.2455C>T, p.Arg819Trp] [ClinVar Variation ID:456402] in the same codon has been classified as likely pathogenic for Pompe disease by the ClinGen LSD VCEP (PM5_Supporting). There is no Clinvar entry for this variant. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Pathogenic for Pompe disease. ACMG/AMP criteria met, based on the specification of the ClinGen LSD VCEP: PP4_Moderate, PM3, PS3_Moderate, PP3, PM2_Supporting, and PM5_Supporting.
