Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine | Jan 09, 2024 | The p.Tyr652Cys variant in NEXN has been reported in at least 8 individuals with DCM some of whom also had pathogenic variants in other genes that could explain their phenotype, 1 individual with HCM, 1 individual with sudden cardiac death and 1 individual with noncompaction cardiomyopathy (Hassel 2009 PMID: 19881492, Hertz 2016 PMID: 26383259, Kaluke 2017 PMID: 29253866, Minoche 2019 PMID: 29961767, Van Lint 2019 PMID: 30847666, Murdock 2021 PMID: 34363016, LMM internal data). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 326) and has been identified in 0.018% (12/68008) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.3.1.2). Functional studies in zebrafish embryos resulted in severely dilated hearts and heart biopsies of 2 individuals with DCM who harbored this variant (and did not have a pathogenic variant identified in a cardiomyopathy related gene) show a disrupted sarcomere (Hassel 2009 PMID: 19881492), suggesting that this variant affects protein function. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4_Supporting, PS3_Moderate, PP3. - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Oct 24, 2023 | Functional studies suggest this missense variant acts in a dominant-negative manner and leads to a dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype in zebrafish (Hassel et al., 2009), however, further functional evidence is needed to clarify the role of this variant in human disease; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20970104, 31028938, 26187847, 27171814, 23299917, 19881492, 29253866, 26383259, 30847666, 33949776, 29961767, 24503780, 34363016, 35166435, 36935760) - |

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine | Jun 11, 2020 | The c.1955A>G (p.Tyr652Cys) variant in the exon 13 of NEXN gene has been reported in 3 individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and 1 individual with sudden cardiac death (SCD) and non-diagnostic right ventricular hypertrophy (PMID: 19881492, 24503780, 26383259). This variant is present at a frequency of 22/279940 in the population database gnomAD suggesting that it could exhibit reduced penetrance. Multiple lines of in silico algorithms have predicted the p.Tyr652Cys change to be deleterious. Functional studies showed that expression of this variant in zebrafish destabilizes cardiac Z-disks and leads to a DCM phenotype (PMID: 19881492). Therefore, this c.1955A>G (p.Tyr652Cys) in the NEXN gene is classified as likely pathogenic with possible reduced penetrance. - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute | Jul 17, 2023 | Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3B. Following criteria are met: 0105 - The mechanism of disease for this gene is not clearly established. However, functional studies have suggested both dominant negative or loss of function mechanisms (PMID: 19881492, PMID: 20970104, PMID: 32814711). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from tyrosine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2, v3) <0.001 for a dominant condition (33 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated immunoglobulin I-set domain (DECIPHER). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity for this variant are conflicting. This variant has been reported as both a VUS, and as likely pathogenic, and observed in at least 10 individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), sudden cardiac death or pancardiomyopathy (ClinVar, cardiodb.org, PMID: 24503780, PMID: 26383259, PMID: 31028938). An additional two individuals had causative variants in either the TTN or MYH7 genes (PMID: 29253866, PMID: 29961767). Another two individuals had ascending aortic aneurysm and dissection, or a family history of cardiac disease, but no indication of DCM themselves (PMID: 34363016). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Overexpression of this variant in zebrafish models has proven it causes disruption to sarcomeric units and destabilizes Z-disks (PMID: 19881492). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign - |

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jan 04, 2024 | The p.Y652C variant (also known as c.1955A>G), located in coding exon 12 of the NEXN gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1955. The tyrosine at codon 652 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in individuals from cohorts with dilated cardiomyopathy, non-compaction cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac death, sometimes in conjunction with variants in other cardiac-related genes (Pugh TJ et al. Genet. Med., 2014 Aug;16:601-8; Hassel D et al. Nat. Med., 2009 Nov;15:1281-8; Klauke B et al. PLoS ONE, 2017 Dec;12:e0189489; Hertz CL et al. Int. J. Legal Med., 2016 Jan;130:91-102; van Lint FHM et al. Neth Heart J. 2019 Jun;27(6):304-309). This variant has also been seen in an exome cohort, but cardiovascular history was not provided (Andreasen C et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2013 Sep;21:918-28). One functional study indicated that p.Y652C overexpression in zebrafish disrupts sarcomeric units and destabilizes Z-disks, but the clinical relevance of this overexpression study is unclear (Hassel D et al. Nat Med. 2009;15(11):1281-8). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. - |
Dilated cardiomyopathy 1CC;C3151267:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 20 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Aug 01, 2022 | This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 652 of the NEXN protein (p.Tyr652Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs137853197, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 19881492, 24503780, 29253866, 30847666). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 326). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects NEXN function (PMID: 19881492). 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. - |
