Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PP1 PP4 PM2_Supporting PM3 PVS1_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000232.5: c.699_702del p.(Phe233LeufsTer16) variant in SGCB is a frameshift variant that may cause loss of function of the protein; the resulting transcript is predicted to escape nonsense mediated decay but remove >10% of the protein (PVS1_Strong). This variant has been detected in at least two unrelated individuals with autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy, including confirmed in trans with a likely pathogenic or pathogenic variant (c.377_384dup, 1 pt, PMID:25862795) and in a homozygous state (0.25 pts, PMID:25862795) (PM3). At least one patient with this variant and a second SGCB variant displayed progressive limb girdle muscle weakness as well as absent expression of beta-sarcoglycan protein, which is highly specific for SGCB-related LGMD; however, the presence of potentially diagnostic variants in all of the other sarcoglycan genes was not ruled out (PP4; PMID:12868499, 25862795, 9032047). The variant has also been reported to segregate with autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy in one affected family member (PP1; PMID:25862795) and is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LGMD VCEP (LGMD VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; 01/08/2025): PVS1_Strong, PM3, PP4, PP1, PM2_Supporting.

Genes affected

SGCB (HGNC:10806): (sarcoglycan beta) This gene encodes a member of the sarcoglycan family. Sarcoglycans are transmembrane components in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which help stabilize the muscle fiber membranes and link the muscle cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in this gene have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
