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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change affects codon 103 of the CAPN3 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CAPN3 protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 1, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs376146681, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (PMID: 18563459, 30919934). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552569). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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.

Reported along with a pathogenic variant in CAPN3 in a patient with LGMD in published literature; however, segregation information was not provided (Ten Dam et al., 2019); Reported along with a second variant in CAPN3 in a patient with LGMD2A in published literature; however, segregation information was not provided (Blazquez et al., 2008); In-silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18563459, 30919934)
