Uncertain Significance for glycogen storage disease II. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PM2_Supporting
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The NM_000152.5c.1392G>C variant in GAA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Arginine by Serine at amino acid 464 (p.Arg464Ser). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00019 (219/1179922 alleles) in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen LD VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.001), meeting this criterion. The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.631 which is neither above nor below the thresholds predicting a damaging (>0.7) or benign (<0.5) impact on GAA function. Another missense variant c.1390A>T, p.Arg464Trp in the same codon has been reported in a patient with Pompe disease (ClinVar Variation ID: 843677). However, this variant has not yet met the criteria to be classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by the ClinGen LD VCEP. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 432217, 3-star review status) with 6 submitters classifying the variant as Uncertain Significance and 1 submitter classifying the variant as Likely Pathogenic. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Uncertain Significance for Pompe disease based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Disease Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0): PM2_Supporting. (Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Disease Variant Curation Expert Panel on November 17, 2025)

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
Population frequency
| Ancestry group | Frequency | 1 in |
|---|---|---|
| Remaining individualsnot grpmax-eligible | 0.0192% | 5,206 |
| European (non-Finnish)grpmax | 0.0186% | 5,388 |
| Admixed American | 0.005% | 20,002 |
| South Asian | 0.00329% | 30,356 |
Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.
Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
