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]

RIF1 (HGNC:23207): (replication timing regulatory factor 1) This gene encodes a protein that shares homology with the yeast teleomere binding protein, Rap1 interacting factor 1. This protein localizes to aberrant telomeres may be involved in DNA repair. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The NEB c.18886C>T (p.Arg6296Ter) variant, also reported as c.24559C>T (p.Arg8187Ter), is a stop-gained variant predicted to result in a premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg8187Ter variant is reported in two studies, in which it is found in two patients in a compound heterozygous state with nemaline myopahty (Lehtokari et al. 2014; Piga et al. 2016). Control data are unavailable for this variant and it is not found in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium or the Genome Aggregation Database in a region of good sequence coverage, thus the variant is presumed to be rare. Based on the evidence and potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Arg6296Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive nemaline myopathy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg8187*) in the NEB gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NEB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25205138). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with nemaline myopathy (PMID: 25205138, 27105866). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496135). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The NEB c.24559C>T (p.Arg8187X) variant causes a nonsense mutation involving a conserved nucleotide resulting in a truncated NEB protein, a known mechanism for disease. The variant of interest was not observed in controls (ExAC, 1000 Gs, or ESP) and has been reported in multiple affected individuals in the compound heterozygous state. Publications have indicated that the variant of interest could cause a intermediate phenotype. Therefore, taking all available lines of evidence into consideration, the variant of interest has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

The p.Arg8152Ter variant in NEB has been reported in three individuals with nemaline myopathy (PMID: 36703223, 25205138, 27105866), and has been identified in 0.001% (1/90592) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs763364977). 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: 496135) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by many submitters. Of the 3 affected individuals ,1 of those was a homozygote, which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg8152Ter variant is pathogenic (PMID: 36703223). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 8152, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Computational tools predict a splicing impact, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. This variant is in an in-frame exon and is more likely to escape (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. 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_Strong, PM3, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015). -
