Klippel-Feil anomaly-myopathy-facial dysmorphism syndrome Pathogenic:5
Variant summary: MYO18B c.6660_6670del11 (p.Arg2220SerfsX74) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 248956 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MYO18B causing Klippel-Feil Anomaly-Myopathy Dysmorphism Syndrome, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.6660_6670del11 has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Klippel-Feil Anomaly-Myopathy Dysmorphism Syndrome (Scheieffer_2019, Altuame_2021). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31195167, 33179433). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 590293). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence variant is an 11 base pair deletion in exon 43 of the Myosin 18B protein and results in an early termition codon 74 amino acids downstream of the frameshift at Arg2220. This variant is predicted to generate a non-functiol allele through either the expression of a truncated protein or a loss of MYO18 expression due to nonsense mediated decay. This is a previously reported variant (ClinVar) that is rare in control population datasets (gnomAD database, 11/248956 alleles or 0.004%). This variant has been observed in an individual with MYO18B-related disease and was a compound heterozygote for a second truncating variant in MYO18 (PMID: 31195167). Given the evidence we consider this variant to be likely pathogenic. ACMG Criteria: PM2, PVS1 -
This individual is compound heterozygous for two likely pathogenic changes in the MYO18B gene. These frameshift alterations encode a premature stop of translation (ACMG: PVS1). The first, p.Arg2220SerfsTer74, occurs at an amino acid position 86% of the way through the full length protein, and the second, p.Leu2257SerfsTer16, occurs 88% of the way through the full length protein. These alterations occur within exon 43 of the transcript, NM_032608.5, within the penultimate exon of the gene (also representing the final coding exon of the transcript). These variants are very rare (p.Arg2220SerfsTer74) or absent (p.Leu2257SerfsTer16) from population databases (gnomAD) (ACMG: PM2). MYO18B is associated with autosomal recessive Klippel-Feil syndrome-4 with nemaline myopathy and facial dysmorphism (OMIM: 616549). Limited phenotypic data have been described in the literature and medical databases, however MYO18B variants encoding a premature stop of translation have been previously documented in association with myopathy, mild short stature, microcephaly, cardiomyopathy, pectus deformity, digit anomalies and distinctive facies (PMID: 25748484; 27858739). Characterization of the effect of a premature stop of translation within MYO18B has been described in the setting of in-vitro analyses. Examination of an affected patient's lymphocytes harboring a nonsense alteration (p.Ser2303Ter) demonstrated markedly diminished MYO18B transcript by quantitative PCR in comparison to a control, therefore hypothesized to be consistent with nonsense-mediated decay (PMID: 25748484). Moreover, western blot analysis and immunostaining of skeletal muscle in another patient harboring a nonsense alteration (p.Glu2166Ter) demonstrated the absence of the C-terminus of the protein hypothesized to be consistent with protein truncation (PMID: 27858739). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2220Serfs*74) in the MYO18B gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MYO18B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25748484, 32184166, 32637634). This variant is present in population databases (rs756408696, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Klippel-Feil syndrome (PMID: 31195167, 33179433). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 590293). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Frameshift variant predicted to result in abnormal protein length as the last 348 amino acids are replaced with 73 different amino acids, and other similar variants have been reported in HGMD; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32278351, 32184166, 33179433, 31195167) -
