Genes affected
AGRN (HGNC:329): (agrin) This gene encodes one of several proteins that are critical in the development of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), as identified in mouse knock-out studies. The encoded protein contains several laminin G, Kazal type serine protease inhibitor, and epidermal growth factor domains. Additional post-translational modifications occur to add glycosaminoglycans and disulfide bonds. In one family with congenital myasthenic syndrome affecting limb-girdle muscles, a mutation in this gene was found. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]

This sequence change falls in intron 28 of the AGRN gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the AGRN protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs113681205, gnomAD 0.08%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with AGRN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 582123). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
