Invitae | RCV001031318 | SCV001194624 | likely pathogenic | Glycogen storage disease, type V | 2021-08-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 18-20 of the PYGM gene. The 5' boundary is likely confined to intron 17. The 3' end of this event is unknown as it extends through the termination codon beyond the assayed region for this gene and may encompass additional genes. While this deletion is not anticipated to lead to nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to alter mRNA translation or result in a truncated protein product. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individual(s) with GSD V (Invitae). This variant disrupts the p.Trp798 amino acid residue in PYGM. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17630210, 17994553, 21802952). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
