Genes affected
SGCA (HGNC:10805): (sarcoglycan alpha) This gene encodes a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which is critical to the stability of muscle fiber membranes and to the linking of the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Its expression is thought to be restricted to striated muscle. Mutations in this gene result in type 2D autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 16, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 181 of the SGCA protein (p.Arg181Cys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with sarcoglycanopathy (PMID: 12746421). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 597557). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SGCA protein function. 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 11, 2022Variant summary: SGCA c.541C>T (p.Arg181Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00016 in 150906 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0013 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. This frequency is somewhat lower than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in SGCA causing Autosomal Recessive Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (0.002), allowing no clear conclusion about variant significance. c.541C>T has been reported in the literature in a compound heterozygous individual who carried a second (likely) pathogenic variant in trans and was affected with muscular dystrophy (Boito_2003). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Autosomal Recessive Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and all of them classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
