Genes affected

FKRP (HGNC:17997): (fukutin related protein) This gene encodes a protein which is targeted to the medial Golgi apparatus and is necessary for posttranslational modification of dystroglycan. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital muscular dystrophy, cognitive disability, and cerebellar cysts. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

This variant disrupts a region of the FKRP protein in which other variant(s) (p.Ala455Asp) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 14652796, 16368217, 18671187, 23420653, 23894383). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 289473). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu324*) in the FKRP gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 172 amino acid(s) of the FKRP protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FKRP-related conditions.
