Genes affected
NEB (HGNC:7720): (nebulin) This gene encodes nebulin, a giant protein component of the cytoskeletal matrix that coexists with the thick and thin filaments within the sarcomeres of skeletal muscle. In most vertebrates, nebulin accounts for 3 to 4% of the total myofibrillar protein. The encoded protein contains approximately 30-amino acid long modules that can be classified into 7 types and other repeated modules. Protein isoform sizes vary from 600 to 800 kD due to alternative splicing that is tissue-, species-,and developmental stage-specific. Of the 183 exons in the nebulin gene, at least 43 are alternatively spliced, although exons 143 and 144 are not found in the same transcript. Of the several thousand transcript variants predicted for nebulin, the RefSeq Project has decided to create three representative RefSeq records. Mutations in this gene are associated with recessive nemaline myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of 122, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 23826317). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557295). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of nemaline myopathy (PMID: 23826317, 31230720; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. 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 sequence change falls in intron 122 of the NEB gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NEB protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. -

Nemaline myopathy Pathogenic:2

Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: curation

The c.19101+5G>A variant in NEB has been identified in two individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita or nemaline myopathy (PMID: 23826317, 31230720) and has been identified in 0.003% (2/58542) of Latino/Admixed American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs374929094). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 557295) and has been interpreted as pathogenic/likely pathogenic by Lupski Lab (Baylor-Hopkins CMG, Baylor College of Medicine), Institut de Génétique et Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire, Invitae, Natera Inc., and Baylor Genetics, and as a variant of uncertain significance by Counsyl. Of the 2 affected individuals, one was a compound heterozygote that carried a reported pathogenic variant in trans, which increases the likelihood that the c.19101+5G>A variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 449501; PMID: 31230720). cDNA analysis performed on affected tissue shows exon skipping of exon 122 (PMID:23826317). Exon 122 (NM_001164508.2) is in-frame with 105 nucleotides or 35 codons. This variant is located in the 5’ splice region. Computational tools predict a splicing impact, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. This variant is adjacent to an in-frame exon and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and result in a truncated protein. In-frame exon skipping of the NEB gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive nemaline myopathy. The phenotype of an individual heterozygous for this variant is highly specific for nemaline myopathy based on the presence of nemaline rods on a muscle biopsy consistent with disease (PMID: 23826317). One additional likely pathogenic variant, predicted to induce the same splicing effect as this variant, has been reported in ClinVar as being associated with nemaline myopathy, supporting that the c.19101+5G>A may be pathogenic (Variation ID: 2010427). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive nemaline myopathy. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_moderate, PM3, PP4, PM2_supporting, PS1_supporting (Richards 2015). -
