The NM_000070.3(CAPN3):c.1202A>G (p.Tyr401Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.000013 (AC=21) in the gnomAD database across 1,613,008 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.00000811. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (no review stars). A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.Y401F: Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 965033, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.Y401H: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 3719679, 1 star)

Genes affected

CAPN3 (HGNC:1480): (calpain 3) Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ENSG00000258461 (HGNC:):

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Specifications for CAPN3 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Very rare in gnomAD (popmax AF <0.01%) — O3 supporting; GnomAD effective popmax AF = 0.000008 — very rare (O3 supporting [+1])
	O6Computational evidence supports deleterious effect		Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 1 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 15.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
	O8Missense constraint in gene or region		Missense in gene/domain constrained for missense variation where missense is common disease mechanism (O8 supporting); Gene/disease mechanism: missense is a common mechanism of oncogenesis; gnomAD missense Z-score: 0.86 (threshold ≥3.09 for constraint); Domain-level constraint: variant is in a critically constrained functional domain (IS_AT_CRITICAL_DOMAIN)
