Genes affected
DYSF (HGNC:3097): (dysferlin) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ferlin family and is a skeletal muscle protein found associated with the sarcolemma. It is involved in muscle contraction and contains C2 domains that play a role in calcium-mediated membrane fusion events, suggesting that it may be involved in membrane regeneration and repair. In addition, the protein encoded by this gene binds caveolin-3, a skeletal muscle membrane protein which is important in the formation of caveolae. Specific mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) as well as Miyoshi myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

The heterozygous p.Ile1419HisfsTer8 variant (sometimes described as p.Ile1401HisfsTer8) in DYSFwas identified by our study in the compound heterozygous state, with a VUS, in one individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). This variant has been identified in 0.01335% (2/14978) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs762804655). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency and it has been reported pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 94320). The p.Ile1419HisfsTer8 variant in DYSF has been reported in 1 Moroccan, 1 Korean, and 6 unknown individuals with LGMD, including 3 individuals homozygous and 3 individuals heterozygous for the variant (PMID: 18853459, 16891820, 17698709). The presence of this variant in combination with a variant (reported pathogenic in ClinVar) and in an individual with LGMD increases the likelihood that the p.Ile1419HisfsTer8 variant is pathogenic (PMID: 18853459). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at position 1419 and leads to a premature termination codon 8 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the DYSF gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive LGMD, and this is a loss of function variant. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for LGMD in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted impact of the variant and multiple reports of pathogenicity in ClinVar. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PVS1, PM3 (Richards 2015). -

The frameshift variant c.4254dup p.Ile1419HisfsTer8 in the DYSF gene has been reported previously in compound heterozygous/ heterozygous state in individuals affected with Miyoshi Myopathy and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy Krahn et al., 2009; Cho et al., 2006; Jin et al., 2016. This variant is reported with the allele frequency 0.003% in the gnomAD Exomes. It is submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic multiple submitters. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A Homozygote Frameshift variant c.4193_4194insC in Exon 39 of the DYSF gene that results in the amino acid substitution p.Ile1401fs*8 was identified. The observed variant has a minor allele frequency of 0.00006% in gnomAD exomes and novel in gnomAD genomes, respectively. The severity of the impact of this variant on the protein is high, based on the effect of the protein and REVEL score. Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) is an ensembl method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP++, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. The REVEL score for an individual missense variant can range from 0 to 1, with higher scores reflecting greater likelihood that the variant is disease-causing. ClinVar has also classified this variant as Pathogenic [Variation ID: 94320]. The observed variation has been reported previously in individual(s) with Miyoshi muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, and intermediate phenotypes (Cho HJ, et.al., 2006). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.004%). Frameshift variant is predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic without evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000094320 / PMID: 16891820 / 3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile1401Hisfs*8) in the DYSF gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DYSF are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17698709, 20301480). 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 individual(s) with Miyoshi muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, and intermediate phenotypes (PMID: 16100712, 16891820, 17698709, 18853459, 19528035). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 94320). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
