Genes affected

SGCB (HGNC:10806): (sarcoglycan beta) This gene encodes a member of the sarcoglycan family. Sarcoglycans are transmembrane components in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which help stabilize the muscle fiber membranes and link the muscle cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in this gene have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

SGCB Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG Submitted by: ClinGen, PanelApp Australia
• autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2E

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG, SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Myriad Women’s Health, Orphanet, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Ambry Genetics

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.66).
