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]

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 329 of the CAPN3 protein (p.Gly329Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) (PMID: 21520333, 28915917; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 427161). 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 CAPN3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CAPN3 function (PMID: 16627476). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The G329R variant was previously reported in a patient with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A) who had a second variant on the other allele (CAPN3 LOVD). It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The G329R variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and multiple missense variants in nearby residues (V320F, Y322H, G333D, H334Y/L/Q) have also been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (Stenson et al., 2014). In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, this variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant, however the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded. -
