Genes affected
NEBL (HGNC:16932): (nebulette) This gene encodes a nebulin like protein that is abundantly expressed in cardiac muscle. The encoded protein binds actin and interacts with thin filaments and Z-line associated proteins in striated muscle. This protein may be involved in cardiac myofibril assembly. A shorter isoform of this protein termed LIM nebulette is expressed in non-muscle cells and may function as a component of focal adhesion complexes. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Tyr89X varian t in NEBL has been identified in 2 individuals with HCM and 1 individual with LV H (LMM data). It has also been identified in 0.24% (305/128294) of European chro mosomes by by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This nonsense variant l eads to a premature termination codon at position 89, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein; however, this variant does not occur in all t ranscripts of the gene. In addition, the association of variants in NEBL with ca rdiomyopathy has not been clearly established. In summary, while the clinical si gnificance of the p.Tyr89X variant is uncertain, its frequency suggests that it is more likely to be benign. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1_Supporting.

Variant summary: NEBL c.267C>G (p.Tyr89X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, however current evidence is not sufficient to establish loss-of-function variants in NEBL as causative of disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0013 in 249424 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The observed variant frequency is approximately 162-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NEBL causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy phenotype (7.8e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.267C>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and an individual with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy, both of whom had variants considered to be likely pathogenic/pathogenic reported in other cardiac-related genes, providing supporting evidence for a benign role (e.g. Kostareva_2016, Forleo_2017). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28750076, 27662471, 33762593). Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Four submitters classified the variant as benign/likely benign and two classified it as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.3, this variant is classified as Likely benign. Following criteria are met: 0105 - The mechanism of disease for this gene is not clearly established. However, loss of function is an unlikely mechanism of disease, as null mouse models have normal cardiac function (PMID: 25987543). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease (PMID: 27186169). (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0219 - This variant is non-coding in an alternative transcript, which is the longest (NCBI, UCSC). (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0308 - Population frequency for this variant is out of keeping with known incidence of dilated cardiomyopathy (gnomAD v3; 202 heterozygotes, 5 homozygotes). (SB) 0710 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have inconclusive previous evidence for pathogenicity. These variants have been reported mostly as VUS (ClinVar). (I) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity for this variant are conflicting. This variant has been observed in several patients within cardiac disease cohorts, but has been classified as likely benign, benign and as a VUS (ClinVar, PMID: 27662471, PMID: 28750076). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign

Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

This variant has been identified in 4 probands with different clinical presentations (Long QT syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sudden unexplained death in epilepsy and sudden unxeplained death in a young person) which suggests that this variant is an incidental finding. Furthermore the variant is present in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/) at an allele frequency of 0.00128, which is much higher then the frequency of any inherited cardiac condition, therefore we classify NEBL p.Tyr89Ter as 'benign'.

Collection Method:research

The NEBL Tyr89Ter variant if found at a high allele frequency in the the Genome Aggregation Database (MAF=0.0013; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). We identified this variant in a female HCM patient, however the variant did not segregate to another affected family member. Based on high allele frequencies in the general population and our familial data, we classify NEBL Tyr89Ter as "benign".
