RCV001249007 | SCV001422853 | pathogenic | Glycogen storage disease, type II | 2020-01-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | curation | The c.692+1G>A variant in GAA has been reported in one individual with glycogen storage disease (PMID: 24027232), and has been identified in 0.003% of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs773281453). 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. 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 a compound heterozygote for this variant is highly specific for glycogen storage disease based on GAA enzyme activity consistent for disease (PMID: 24027232). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for glycogen storage disease in an autosomal recessive manner based on its prediction to cause loss of function, its low frequency in the general population, and its presence in affected individuals with significantly reduced GAA activity.
