• CAPN3 p.Asn223Thr

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PS1 PM1

The NM_000070.3(CAPN3):​c.668_669delACinsCG​(p.Asn223Thr) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N223I) has been classified as Uncertain significance. The gene CAPN3 is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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]

ACMG classification

Specifications for CAPN3 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000070.3 (CAPN3) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 14 uncertain in NM_000070.3
