Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_000117.3(EMD):c.610C>T(p.Arg204Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000014 in 1,210,803 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are 1 hemizygotes in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R204H) has been classified as Likely benign.

p.Arg204Cys c.610 CGT>TGT in exon 6 of the EMD gene (NM_000117.2): The Arg204Cys variant in the EMD gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports Arg204Cys was not observed in approximately 6,300 samples from individuals of European and African American backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Arg204Cys results in a semi-conservative amino acid substitution of a positively charged Arginine residue with a neutral, polar Cystein residue, which might affect disulfide bonds. In silico analysis predicts Arg204Cys is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Nevertheless, the Arg204 residue is not well conserved, as a Cysteine residue is present at this position in horse. Also, no missense mutations in nearby codons have been reported in association with EDMD. With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Arg204Cys is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in DCM panel(s). -
X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 204 of the EMD protein (p.Arg204Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs782299893, gnomAD 0.005%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EMD-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 201776). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt EMD protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.R204C variant (also known as c.610C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the EMD gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 610. The arginine at codon 204 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.0024% (5/205035) total alleles studied, with 1 hemizygote(s) observed. The highest observed frequency was 0.0187% (1/5339) of Other alleles. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
