Genes affected
LDB3 (HGNC:15710): (LIM domain binding 3) This gene encodes a PDZ domain-containing protein. PDZ motifs are modular protein-protein interaction domains consisting of 80-120 amino acid residues. PDZ domain-containing proteins interact with each other in cytoskeletal assembly or with other proteins involved in targeting and clustering of membrane proteins. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with alpha-actinin-2 through its N-terminal PDZ domain and with protein kinase C via its C-terminal LIM domains. The LIM domain is a cysteine-rich motif defined by 50-60 amino acids containing two zinc-binding modules. This protein also interacts with all three members of the myozenin family. Mutations in this gene have been associated with myofibrillar myopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified; all isoforms have N-terminal PDZ domains while only longer isoforms (1, 2 and 5) have C-terminal LIM domains.

Variant summary: LDB3 c.2092G>A (p.Ala698Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00023 in 251374 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 8-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in LDB3 causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy phenotype (3.1e-05). c.2092G>A has been observed in individual(s) affected with Dilated Cardiomyopathy, without strong evidence for causality (Andreasen_2013, Haas_2015, Hershberger_2008, Li_2010, vanderMeulen_2022). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported ( MYH7 c.709C>T , p.Arg237Trp), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (Hershberger_2008). 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: 23299917, 25163546, 19412328, 20590677, 36178741). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36446). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The Ala698Thr variant in LDB3 has been reported in 2 individuals with DCM, both of whom also carry an additional variant in another cardiomyopathy-associated ge ne (Hershberger 2008, Li 2010). This variant has also been identified by our lab oratory in 1 Native American individual with HCM and 1 African American infant w ith DCM. This variant has been identified in 6/8600 European American chromosome s by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSN P rs45577134). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predict ive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the Ala698Thr variant is uncertain. -

The LDB3 gene has multiple clinically relevant transcripts. This variant occurs in alternate transcript NM_007078.3, and corresponds to NM_001080116.1:c.*26876G>A in the primary transcript. This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 698 of the LDB3 protein (p.Ala698Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs45577134, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 19412328, 20590677, 25163546). This variant is also known as c.G1762A (p.A588T). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36446). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.A698T variant (also known as c.2092G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the LDB3 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2092. The alanine at codon 698 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was reported in two unrelated probands with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM); however, both carried variants in other DCM-associated genes (Hershberger RE et al. Clin Transl Sci. 2008;1:21-6; Li D et al. Clin Transl Sci. 2010;3:90-7). This alteration has also been detected in DCM and cardiomyopathy genetic testing cohorts (Haas J et al. Eur Heart J, 2015 May;36:1123-35a; van Lint FHM et al. Neth Heart J, 2019 Jun;27:304-309). This variant has also been detected in an exome cohort, but cardiovascular history was not provided (Andreasen C et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2013;21:918-28). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
