Description
The NM_000152.5:c.258dup (p.Asn87GlnfsTer9) variant in GAA is a frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 2/20, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). At least 10 patients with this variant and reported to have Pompe disease have been reported. This includes two patients with documented laboratory values showing GAA deficiency meeting the ClinGen LSD VCEP’s specifications for PP4_Moderate; one of them on enzyme replacement therapy (PMID 21484825, 31467850), a further 7, at least, patients on enzyme replacement therapy, without documented values for GAA activity, meeting specifications for PP4 (PMID 26873529, 31086307, 31392188, 31676142, 32248831), and additional patients with insufficient details to meet the requirements for PP4 (PMID 10206684, 16917947, 29961517, 30564623). At least 7 patients are compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic variant, c.-32-13T>G, in GAA (PM3). Another two patients are compound heterozygous for the variant and either c.1195-8G>A (PMID 21484825) or c.1115A>T (p.His372Leu) (PMID 31467850). The in trans data from both of these patients will be used in the assessment of the other variant and is, therefore, not included here in order to avoid circular logic. The variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 282842, 2 star review status) with five submitters classifying the variant as pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Pompe disease. GAA-specific GAA criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen LSD VCEP (Specification Version 2.0): PVS1, PM3, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting.
