Genes affected
FKRP (HGNC:17997): (fukutin related protein) This gene encodes a protein which is targeted to the medial Golgi apparatus and is necessary for posttranslational modification of dystroglycan. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital muscular dystrophy, cognitive disability, and cerebellar cysts. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 31, 2023Variant summary: FKRP c.928G>T (p.Glu310X) results in a premature termination codon and is predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. Although the variant is not expected to cause absense of the protein through nonsense mediated decay, the variant disrupts the last 186 amino acids in the protein sequence. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic within ClinVar (e.g. c.948del [p.Cys317fs], c.1027G>T [p.Glu343Ter]). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.5e-05 in 159598 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.928G>T has been reported in the literature as a biallelic genotype in individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive (e.g. Poppe_2003, Frosk_2005, Sframeli_2017). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Experimental evidence confirms the variant results in loss-of-function: homozygous knock-in of the variant human gene in a mouse model of disease was embryonically lethal (Blaeser_2013), despite evidence that the variant does not impact protein production or secretion (Lu_2010). Six ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: one classified the variant as likely pathogenic, and five as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 29, 2022The p.E310* variant (also known as c.928G>T), located in coding exon 1 of the FKRP gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 928. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 1. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theFKRP gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 186 (38%) amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant has been reported in compound heterozygotes from limb-girdle muscular dystrophy cohorts (Poppe M et al. Neurology, 2003 Apr;60:1246-51; Frosk P et al. Hum Mutat, 2005 Jan;25:38-44; Murphy LB et al. Ann Clin Transl Neurol, 2020 05;7:757-766). Other truncating alterations downstream have been observed in individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with FKRP-related disease (Mercuri E et al. Arch. Neurol., 2006 Feb;63:251-7; Sveen ML et al. Ann Neurol, 2006 May;59:808-15). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Walker-Warburg congenital muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 27, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu310*) in the FKRP gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 186 amino acid(s) of the FKRP protein. 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 12707425, 15580560). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550361). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects FKRP function (PMID: 23591631). This variant disrupts a region of the FKRP protein in which other variant(s) (p.Trp432*) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
