Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard RCV001249033 SCV001422967 likely pathogenic Glycogen storage disease, type II 2020-01-14 criteria provided, single submitter curation The c.2041-1G>A variant in GAA has been reported in four individuals with glycogen storage disease II (PMID: 28648663, 21803581, 21550241, 18425781) and has been identified in 0.001% (1/98816) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs760731229). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1/2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. There is an in-frame cryptic splice site 6 bases from the intron-exon boundary, providing evidence that this variant may delete 2 amino acids instead of causing loss of function. However, this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Loss of function of the GAA gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive glycogen storage disease. The phenotype of an individual that is compound heterozygous for this variant is highly specific for glycogen storage disease based on GAA enzyme activity in fibroblasts being <10% of wild type, consistent with disease (PMID:21550241). The presence of this variant in combination with reported the pathogenic variant c.-32-13T>G (VariationID: 4027; PMID: 21550241) and in individuals with glycogen storage disease II slightly increases the likelihood that the c.2041-1G>A variant is pathogenic. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_moderate, PM3_supporting, PM2, PP4 (Richards 2015).
