Functional studies demonstrate reduced enzymatic activity of the G allele compared to WT. The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals (homozygous) is increased compared with the prevalence in controls and there is familial co-segregation with disease (Bwayo et al. 2013; Manjurano et al. 2012; Maiga et al. 2014; Shah et al. 2014; Pisani et al. 2012; Vulliamy et al. 1988; Odievre et al. 2011). Although the frequency of this variant in the African population within ExAC (http://exac.broadinstitute.org) is high it is consistent with observed and expected based on disease incidence (11.34%). Computational algorithms predict the variant has a damaging or deleterious effect. This variant is has been classified as pathogenic by multiple reputable clinical testing laboratories (Emory, Division of Human Genetics at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia). In summary, this variant c.202G>A (p.Val68Met) meets our criteria for a Pathogenic classification. We have confirmed this finding in our laboratory using Sanger sequencing.

Invitae RCV000079404 SCV000647800 pathogenic Anemia, nonspherocytic hemolytic, due to G6PD deficiency 2018-06-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces valine with methionine at codon 68 of the G6PD protein (p.Val68Met). The valine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between valine and methionine. This variant is present in population databases (rs1050828, ExAC 11%). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37123).  This variant is also known as the Asashi variant or p.Val98Met in the literature. This variant frequently co-occurs with the c.376A>G (p.Asn126Asp) variant (rs1050829) in cis (on the same chromosome), which is known as the G6PD A- haplotype c.[202G>A; 376A>G] . The G6PD A- haplotype is the most prevalent G6PD deficiency variant in African populations which is present at 0.2% (PMID: 1303173, 24505519, 2572288, 4359638). ClinVar contains an entry for the G6PD A- haplotype (Variation ID: 10361). This variant has been reported to co-occur with another G6PD variant independent of the A- haplotype in a Japanese family affected with G6PD deficiency (PMID: 11852882). It has also been identified as homozygous independent of the A- haplotype in individuals suspected with G6PD deficiency (PMID: 23006493). While this variant alone has been shown to only mildly affect enzyme activity, the c.[202G>A; 376A>G] changes of the G6PD A- haplotype have been reported to act synergistically to cause dramatic reduction of the stability and enzymatic activity of the G6PD protein (PMID: 3393536, 1303173, 10734064, 6015571, 2836867, 16356170). For these reasons, this variant on the c.[202G>A; 376A>G] haplotype has been classified as Pathogenic.

This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 37123) and has been identified in 11.6% (3560/30745) of African chromosomes, including 155 female homozygotes and 995 male hemizygotes, by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.3.1.2). The variant's high frequency is consistent with the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in African populations and is thought to be a result of a partial protection against malaria (Manjurano 2012 PMID: 23144702, Luzzatto 2016 PMID: 27040960). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis are consistent with pathogenicity. Of note, this variant frequently co-occurs with the p.Asn156Asp in cis and is known as the G6PD A-allele, which is a class III variant with a moderate level of deficiency (10-60% activity). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for X-linked G6PD deficiency. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4_VeryStrong, PS3_Moderate, PP3.

Ambry Genetics RCV001267358 SCV001445539 pathogenic Inborn genetic diseases 2023-11-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.[202G>A;376A>G] (p.[V68M;N126D]) complex allele affects exon 4 (coding exon 3) and exon 5 (coding exon 4) of the G6PD gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 202, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 68 to be replaced by a methionine (M), and from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 376, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 126 to be replaced by an aspartic acid (D). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the G6PD c.202G>A alteration was observed in 1.2% (2365/205030) total alleles studied, with a frequency of 11.6% (2208/18968) African alleles, including 89 homozygotes and 599 hemizygotes; the G6PD c.376A>G alteration was observed in 3.2% (6586/205081) total alleles studied, with a frequency of 31.8% (6025/18923) African alleles, including 714 homozygotes and 1605 hemizygotes. The G6PD c.[202G>A;376A>G] complex allele is also known as the “A-" haplotype and it is the most common G6PD deficiency disease-causing allele in African populations. Of note, the c.376A>G (p.N126D) alteration is considered a benign variant when seen in isolation (Town, 1992; Shahjahani, 2013). A significant reduction in enzyme stability and activity has been observed when the c.202G>A (p.V68M) and c.376A>G (p.N126D) variants are present in cis (on the same chromosome) (Vulliamy, 1998; Town, 1992; Gómez-Gallego, 2000). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000606259 SCV002034762 pathogenic G6PD deficiency 2021-11-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The G6PD c.292G>A (p.Val98Met) variant, which is also called c.202G>A (p.Val68Met), is a missense variant that has a well-characterized role in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, accounting for up to 25% of cases in sub-Saharan Africa. This variant has been reported in a large number of individuals with G6PD deficiency, including in a heterozygous, hemizygous, and homozygous state (Vulliamy et al. 1991; McDade et al. 2008; Tine et al. 2012; Dallol et al. 2012; Shah et al. 2014). It is commonly found in cis with the c.466A>G (p.Asn156Asp) variant, which is also known as c.376A>G (p.Asn126Asp), and this complex allele is often referred to as the A-(1) allele. The p.Val98Met variant is reported at a frequency of 0.116400 in the African/African American population of the Genome Aggregation Database (version 2.1.1), including in 90 homozygotes and 641 hemizygotes. This frequency is high but consistent with the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in this region and the potentially limited clinical expression of G6PD deficiency. Reduced enzyme activity of approximately 40% for heterozygotes and 80% for hemizygotes and homozygotes in red blood cells from individuals who carry the p.Val98Met variant only has been observed (Hirono et al. 2002; Shah et al. 2014). Based on the collective evidence, the p.Val98Met variant, is classified as pathogenic for G6PD deficiency.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000606259 SCV003844610 pathogenic G6PD deficiency 2023-02-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: G6PD c.292G>A (p.Val98Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the NAD-binding domain (IPR022674) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0091 in 183313 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.12 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 59 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in G6PD causing Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (0.0091 vs 0.29), and is consistent with the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in this region. Therefore, this allows no strong conclusion about variant significance. This variant is commonly observed as a complex variant (referred to as the A- haplotype) in cis with c.466A>G, p.Asn156Asp in individuals with Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (e.g. Dallol_2012, Shah_2014). c.292G>A has also been reported as a single variant, independent from the A- haplotype, in the literature in the hemizygous, homozygous, and heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency, including at least two unrelated cases of an affected hemizygous male with an affected heterozygous mother (e.g. Hirono_2002, Dallol_2012, Warang_2017, Powers_2018, Chen_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Publications have reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (e.g. Town_1992, Shah_2014). The most pronounced variant effect results in an approximately 40% reduction in enzyme activity for heterozygotes, and 80% for hemizygotes and homozygotes. Furthermore, this variant has been given a WHO classification of Class III: mild to moderate enzyme deficiency (10-60% residual activity). Twenty-three submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. The majority have classified the variant as pathogenic (n=19)/likely pathogenic (n=2), and two classified it as VUS. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

However, G6PD c.376A>G in isolation is considered a non-deficient variant that does not cause disease, and has instead been shown to act as a genetic modifier, increasing the risk of G6PD deficiency by two-fold in individuals heterozygous for c.202G>A3. Functional studies support that the A- variant results in clinically significant G6PD enzyme deficiency. c.202G>A (rs1050828) is present in a large population dataset (gnomAD v2.1.1: 2365/205030 total alleles; 1.2%; 641 hemizygotes and 90 homozygotes), and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 37123). We consider c.202G>A in G6PD to be pathogenic.
