Genes affected

CAPN3 (HGNC:1480): (calpain 3) Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 20, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile162Serfs*17) in the CAPN3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CAPN3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10330340, 15689361). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2 (PMID: 16650086). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217156). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	research	Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard	Dec 03, 2018	The heterozygous p.Ile162SerfsTer17 variant in CAPN3 was identified by our study in the compound heterozygous state, with another pathogenic variant, in one individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). The presence of this variant in combination with a pathogenic variant and in an individual with LGMD increases the likelihood that the p.Ile162SerfsTer17 variant is pathogenic. This variant was absent from large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at position 162 and leads to a premature termination codon 17 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the CAPN3 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive LGMD. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for LGMD in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted impact of the variant and the presence of another pathogenic variant in one individual with LGMD. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PVS1, PM3 (Richards 2015). -

The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to significantly disrupt the protein structure. Found in at least one symptomatic patient, and not found in general population data. Moderate co-segregation with disease. -
