The NM_000152.5:c.1317delGAT or c.1320_1322delGAT variant is predicted to cause a change in the length of protein due to inframe deletion of one amino acid, Met440 in a non repeat region (PM4_Supporting). This variant is documented in NBS-Pompe program from Japan (PMID: 31076647). One LOPD patient from China was reported to be compound heterozygous for the variant and a variant in GAA that has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen LSD VCEP, c.2238G>C (p.Trp746Cys)(PM3_supporting). This patient had documented deficiency of GAA activity (PMID: 35071497) (PP4_moderate). The variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_supporting). The results of in silico predictors were conflicting. To our knowledge, no functional studies have been performed on this variant. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variant ID: 526518). Due to insufficient evidence this variant is classified as of uncertain significance for Pompe disease based on ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by LSD VCEP (specification version 2.0). Criteria applied: criteria: PM2_supporting; PM3_supporting, PM4_Supporting, PP4_moderate. (Classification approved by the ClinGen LSD VCEP on Nov 3, 2022).
Met criteria codes
PM3_Supporting
The variant c.1320_1322delGAT has been detected in one late onset pompe patient from China. Patient is compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic c.2238G>C(p.Trp746Cys)VCV000265160.38 . PMID: 35071497 Phase unknown, 0.5 point, meets PM3_supporting
PM4_Supporting
The NM_000152.5:c.1317delGAT or c.1320_1322delGAT is predicted to cause a change in the length of protein due to inframe deletion of one amino acid, Met440 in a non repeat region (PM4_Supporting).
PP4_Moderate
One late onset Pompe patient from China on ventilator support ( female with age of onset-12 years, diagnosis-23 years) had documented GAA deficiency with 0.16micro mol/L/h ( reference range1.46-20.34).PMID: 35071497 meets PP4_moderate
PM2_Supporting
GAA c.1317GAT[1] (p.Met440del) is absent at gnomAD.
Not Met criteria codes
PS3
To our knowledge, no functional studies have been performed.
PP3
MutationTaster scored it as benign, and MutPredIndel is right at 0.5 which is deleterious with a 10% false positive rate. Due to conflicting in silico predictions, neither PP3 nor BP4 is met.
