Genes affected

TMEM43 (HGNC:28472): (transmembrane protein 43) This gene belongs to the TMEM43 family. Defects in this gene are the cause of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 5 (ARVD5), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC5). Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is an inherited disorder, often involving both ventricles, and is characterized by ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, sudden cardiac death, and fibrofatty replacement of cardiomyocytes. This gene contains a response element for PPAR gamma (an adipogenic transcription factor), which may explain the fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, a characteristic pathological finding in ARVC.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.65).
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 10 AD gene.

Variant summary: TMEM43 c.-4C>T is located in the untranslated mRNA region upstream of the initiation codon. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.3e-05 in 238856 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.-4C>T in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in the 5' untranslated region of the TMEM43 gene. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 9/270246 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
