Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM1PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000070.3(CAPN3):c.1714C>T(p.Arg572Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000142 in 1,614,042 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R572G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A    Pathogenic:6 
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 572 of the CAPN3 protein (p.Arg572Trp). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 9150160, 12461690, 16650086, 18854869, 27234031). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217152). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CAPN3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg572 amino acid residue in CAPN3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7720071, 9642272, 10102422, 16650086, 27066545, 27708273). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CAPN3 c.1714C>T (p.Arg572Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251296 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1714C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (e.g. Richard_1997, Fattahi_2017, Abolhassani_2024). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. A different variant affecting the same codon has been classified as pathogenic by our lab (c.1715G>A, p.Arg572Gln), supporting the critical relevance of codon 572 to CAPN3 protein function. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9150160, 27234031, 38374194). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217152). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
