Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM3PVS1PP4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000070.3: c.2242C>T p.(Arg748Ter) variant in CAPN3, which is also known as p.(Arg748del), is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically relevant exon 21/24, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss of function is an established disease mechanism. mRNA analysis demonstrated reduced expression of the transcript containing the variant, consistent with nonsense mediated decay (PMID:17157502) (PVS1). This variant has been detected in at least six individuals reported to have autosomal recessive LGMD (PMID:25214167, 12461690, 16971480, 17157502, 18055493; Washington University internal clinic data communication). In at least one case, the variant was identified in unknown phase with a pathogenic variant (c.1468C>T p.(Arg490Trp), 0.5 pts, PMID:16971480), and in at least two cases, the variant was identified in trans with a second CAPN3 variant not yet curated by the VCEP and considered VUS (0.5 pts, PMID:12461690, 17157502) (PM3). At least one patient with this variant was clinically suspected to have limb girdle muscular dystrophy and displayed reduced calpain-3 protein expression, which is specific for CAPN3-related LGMD (PP4_Moderate; PMID:16971480). The filtering allele frequency of the variant is 0.000114 for European (non-Finnish) genome alleles in gnomAD v3.1.2 (the upper threshold of the 95% CI of 3/68008), which is more than the LGMD VCEP threshold (<0.0001) for PM2_Supporting (criterion not met). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LGMD VCEP (LGMD VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; 01/09/2025): PVS1, PM3, PP4_Moderate.

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:4

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Centre for Mendelian Genomics, University Medical Centre Ljubljana	Mar 24, 2020	This variant was classified as: Pathogenic. The following ACMG criteria were applied in classifying this variant: PVS1,PM2,PM3,PP4. -
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Counsyl	Dec 06, 2016	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 17, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg748*) 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 present in population databases (rs768090444, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) (PMID: 12461690, 16971480, 17157502, 18055493). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 283259). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Aug 01, 2022	This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In multiple individuals with LGMD, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. -
