Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 9P and 4B. PVS1PP5BS2
The NM_014000.3(VCL):c.1713delA(p.Ala573HisfsTer8) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000018 in 1,613,948 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A571A) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1
The p.Ala573HisfsX8 variant in VCL has not been previously reported in individua ls with cardiomyopathy though it was identified in 3/121052 of chromosomes by th e Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). This vari ant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid se quence beginning at position 573 and leads to a premature termination codon 8 am ino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated o r absent protein. Current evidence suggests that loss of function of the VCL gen e is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This understanding is based u pon approximately 10 patients with infantile- or childhood- onset DCM that were identified with loss-of-function variants in VCL that also segregated with disea se in five additional family members (LMM, unpublished data). Mouse models have also shown that loss of function of the VCL gene leads to cardiac dysfunction, i ncluding dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (Zemljic-Harpf 2007). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, t he p.Ala573HisfsX8 variant is likely pathogenic for dilated cardiomyopathy in an autosomal dominant manner. Data from six families tested in our laboratory sugg est over 50% penetrance of the disease in individuals with a loss-of-function va riant. -
Dilated cardiomyopathy 1W Uncertain:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala573Hisfs*8) in the VCL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in VCL cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs779488376, gnomAD 0.07%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of VCL-related conditions (PMID: 32516855). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 468811). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
