Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM5PP3_Strong
The NM_000070.3(CAPN3):c.608C>T(p.Ala203Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000479 in 1,461,834 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A203G) has been classified as Pathogenic.

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v4.0.0 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.93 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.92 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. The same nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with CAPN3-related disorder (PMID: 35169782 / 3billion dataset). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 35169782 / 3billion dataset). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Ala203Gly) has been reported to be associated with CAPN3-related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000843051). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 203 of the CAPN3 protein (p.Ala203Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs763719290, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CAPN3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 289751). 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 CAPN3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Ala203 amino acid residue in CAPN3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (internal data). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -

Variant summary: CAPN3 c.608C>T (p.Ala203Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Calpain domian (Ganaraja_2021) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251458 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.608C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive (Ganaraja_2021, Karthikeyan_2024). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. 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: 35169782, 39548682). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 289751). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
