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: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2870*) in the DMD gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DMD are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16770791, 25007885). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (PMID: 11524473, 16834926, 19783145, 20098710, 20485447, 21396098, 23588064). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 94810). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The DMD c.8608C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg2870*). This variant has been reported in many individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (reported as "8921C>T; R2905X" in Mendell et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11524473; Cho et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27593222; Table S3 in Fan et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34006472). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Nonsense variants in DMD are expected to be pathogenic, and this variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/94810). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
