Genes affected
NEB (HGNC:7720): (nebulin) This gene encodes nebulin, a giant protein component of the cytoskeletal matrix that coexists with the thick and thin filaments within the sarcomeres of skeletal muscle. In most vertebrates, nebulin accounts for 3 to 4% of the total myofibrillar protein. The encoded protein contains approximately 30-amino acid long modules that can be classified into 7 types and other repeated modules. Protein isoform sizes vary from 600 to 800 kD due to alternative splicing that is tissue-, species-,and developmental stage-specific. Of the 183 exons in the nebulin gene, at least 43 are alternatively spliced, although exons 143 and 144 are not found in the same transcript. Of the several thousand transcript variants predicted for nebulin, the RefSeq Project has decided to create three representative RefSeq records. Mutations in this gene are associated with recessive nemaline myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The NEB c.18579+6T>C variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs116189169), ClinVar (classified as likely benign by GeneDx and Invitae), and LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in control databases in 145 of 279568 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0005187 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 134 of 24160 chromosomes (freq: 0.005546), Other in 2 of 7100 chromosomes (freq: 0.000282), Latino in 6 of 35230 chromosomes (freq: 0.00017) and European (non-Finnish) in 3 of 127768 chromosomes (freq: 0.000023), but was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), or South Asian populations. The c.18579+6T>C variant is located in the 5' splice region but does not affect the invariant +1 and +2 positions. However, positions +3 to +6 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. In addition, 3 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing, however this is not preditive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 24, 2023Variant summary: NEB c.18579+6T>C alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens a canonical 5' donor site, while one predicts the variant has no significant impact on splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00052 in 279568 control chromosomes (gnomAD), predominantly at a frequency of 0.0055 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.56 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NEB causing Nemaline Myopathy 2 (0.0035), suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.18579+6T>C in individuals affected with Nemaline Myopathy 2 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014, and both classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
