Genes affected

DMD (HGNC:2928): (dystrophin) This gene spans a genomic range of greater than 2 Mb and encodes a large protein containing an N-terminal actin-binding domain and multiple spectrin repeats. The encoded protein forms a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which bridges the inner cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. Deletions, duplications, and point mutations at this gene locus may cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), or cardiomyopathy. Alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing result in numerous distinct transcript variants and protein isoforms for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.3, offset of 32, new splice context is: tgccaccaatgcgctatcAGgag. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-32472311-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-32472311-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 217190.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-32472311-T-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 21 of the DMD gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed to be hemizygous in individuals affected with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (PMID: 15351422, 27593222). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217190). Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in DMD are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16770791, 25007885). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: DMD c.2804-2A>C is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes a 3 acceptor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing (Deburgrave_2007). The variant was absent in 182614 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2804-2A>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Tuffery-Giraud_2004, Deburgrave_2007, Cho_2017). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
