About GLA

No gene-level summary was recorded for this case.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

This variant is present in gnomAD at an allele frequency of 0.304% (v2.1, 624/205,260 alleles, 3 homozygotes) and 0.378% (v4.1, 4,565/1,207,947 alleles, 10 homozygotes), with a grpmax filtering allele frequency of 0.405%. These frequencies exceed the non-VCEP BS1 threshold of >0.3%, supporting a benign interpretation for a fully penetrant X-linked disorder.

BS2Supporting
BS2 · supporting

This variant is observed in homozygous state in gnomAD: 3 homozygotes in v2.1 and 10 homozygotes in v4.1. Fabry disease is an X-linked disorder with full penetrance in hemizygous males. The presence of multiple homozygous individuals in a population database that screens out severe pediatric disease indicates this variant is observed in healthy adults and does not cause Fabry disease.

Well-established functional studies demonstrate that D313Y is a pseudodeficiency allele, not a pathogenic variant. In COS-7 cells, D313Y retains approximately 60% of wild-type alpha-galactosidase A enzymatic activity, localizes properly to lysosomes, and is stable at lysosomal pH (4.6). The D313Y enzyme is not evolutionarily conserved and the substitution is structurally tolerated. Lyso-Gb3 biomarker levels are normal in D313Y carriers, confirming absence of glycolipid accumulation. D313Y was found in 0.45% of normal X-chromosomes in a control population.

BP4Supporting
BP4 · supporting

Multiple in silico predictors support a benign interpretation. SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta score = 0.00), indicating the nucleotide change does not create or disrupt splice sites. BayesDel score of 0.065 is in the benign range (below ~0.13 damaging threshold). While REVEL is unavailable, the concordance of available predictors supports a benign computational profile.

BP6Supporting
BP6 · supporting

ClinVar classifies this variant as Benign based on submissions from 10 clinical laboratories, with an additional 7 laboratories reporting Likely benign. Only 4 laboratories report Uncertain significance, and 2 report other. The majority consensus among clinical laboratories strongly supports a benign interpretation.

Recorded classification: Likely benign

gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: BS1 supporting, BS2 supporting, BS3 strong, BP4 supporting, BP6 supporting; combination = 1 strong benign + 4 supporting benign, which maps to Likely Benign.

NM_000169.3:c.937G>T (p.Asp313Tyr) is a missense variant in exon 6 of GLA observed at high frequency in population databases: 0.304% in gnomAD v2.1 (624/205,260 alleles, 3 homozygotes) and 0.378% in gnomAD v4.1 (4,565/1,207,947 alleles, 10 homozygotes).

Well-established functional studies demonstrate D313Y is a pseudodeficiency allele retaining approximately 60% of wild-type alpha-galactosidase A activity with proper lysosomal localization. The enzyme is stable at lysosomal pH, and Lyso-Gb3 biomarker levels are normal in D313Y carriers.

ClinVar reports this variant as Benign by 10 clinical laboratories and Likely benign by 7, with only 4 reporting Uncertain significance and 2 reporting other. The majority consensus supports a benign interpretation.

Multiple in silico predictors support a benign interpretation: SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.00), and BayesDel score of 0.065 is in the benign range.

Based on the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 framework, the combined evidence includes BS1 (supporting benign), BS2 (supporting benign), BS3 (strong benign), BP4 (supporting benign), and BP6 (supporting benign). No pathogenic criteria are met. The overall classification is Benign.

  • Fabry disease: characterization of alpha-galactosidase A double mutations and the D313Y plasma enzyme pseudodeficiency allele.
    Yasuda M et al. · 2003 Dec
    D313Y was characterized as a pseudodeficiency allele. Expressed D313Y retained ~60% WT enzymatic activity in COS-7 cells, localized properly to lysosomes, and was stable at lysosomal pH 4.6 but showed reduced activity at neutral pH 7.4. D313Y occurred in 0.45% of 883 normal X-chromosomes. The D313Y substitution is structurally tolerated: Asp313 is solvent-exposed in a peripheral alpha-helix, not conserved in evolution, and the tyrosine substitution is easily accommodated. The authors conclude D313Y is a rare coding sequence variant causing pseudodeficiency in plasma.

    Thus, D313Y is a rare exonic variant with about 60% of wild-type activity in vitro and reduced activity at neutral pH, resulting in low plasma a-Gal A activity.

  • Lyso-Gb3 Indicates that the Alpha-Galactosidase A Mutation D313Y is not Clinically Relevant for Fabry Disease.
    Lyso-Gb3 biomarker analysis in D313Y carriers demonstrated normal levels, indicating absence of glycolipid accumulation characteristic of Fabry disease. The authors conclude that D313Y is not clinically relevant for Fabry disease and that reduced alpha-galactosidase A activity in plasma represents a pseudodeficiency rather than true enzyme deficiency.

  • [Ophthalmological manifestations in Fabry's disease. Four clinical cases showing deficient alpha-galactosidase-A activity].
    Three patients (p2, p3, p4) from two families carried the Asp313Tyr mutation in exon 6. One was an 81-year-old male with Fabry disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who showed no ocular signs of Fabry; a 45-year-old healthy male carrier showed conjunctival vascular abnormalities and corneal opacities; a 56-year-old male with Fabry and HCM showed corneal verticillata and conjunctival vascular ectasias. The authors note that ophthalmological involvement is inconsistent — some Fabry patients have no ocular findings and some healthy carriers have characteristic findings.

  • Mutations of the GLA gene in young patients with stroke: the PORTYSTROKE study--screening genetic conditions in Portuguese young stroke patients.
    In the PORTYSTROKE study screening 493 young stroke patients in Portugal, 6 patients carried the p.D313Y mutation: 5 with ischemic stroke (3 males, 2 females) and 1 male with intracerebral hemorrhage. Leukocyte alpha-galactosidase activity was subnormal in hemizygous males and subnormal to low-normal in heterozygous females. The D313Y allele was not found in over 400 X chromosomes of healthy Portuguese controls. The authors note that D313Y's pathogenic role has been challenged and it may be a low-frequency polymorphism.

    Mutation p.D313Y was first described in a patient with the classical FD phenotype, but its pathogenic role has been subsequently challenged.

  • Phenotypical characterization of &#x3b1;-galactosidase A gene mutations identified in a large Fabry disease screening program in stroke in the young.
    In the Belgian Fabry Study (BeFaS) of 1,000 young patients with stroke or unexplained white matter lesions, the p.D313Y mutation was identified in female patients. Upon family screening and phenotyping, all p.D313Y carriers had normal alpha-galactosidase A enzyme activity in plasma and normal Gb3 and lyso-Gb3 values. All had normal renal function. Four index patients had cerebral white matter lesions and one female had mild cardiac septal hypertrophy. The authors cite prior work establishing D313Y as a pseudodeficiency allele.

  • Multifocal white matter lesions associated with the D313Y mutation of the &#x3b1;-galactosidase A gene.
    Lenders M et al. · 2013
    This study examined 5 patients (3 female, 2 male) carrying the D313Y mutation who presented with multifocal white matter lesions. Family screening identified 14 additional D313Y carriers. Alpha-galactosidase A activity was decreased in plasma but normal or mildly reduced in leukocytes. Lyso-Gb3 levels were normal in all carriers. The authors propose D313Y may confer increased risk for white matter lesions through a gain-of-function or modifier effect rather than classic Fabry disease pathophysiology, since no glycolipid accumulation was detected.
