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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
