The NM_004006.3(DMD):c.9287-27_9287-2delAATGCTCTTTGTTTTCCCTCTTTTCA variant causes a splice acceptor, splice region, intron change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★).
DMD (HGNC:2928): (dystrophin) This gene spans a genomic range of greater than 2 Mb and encodes a large protein containing an N-terminal actin-binding domain and multiple spectrin repeats. The encoded protein forms a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which bridges the inner cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. Deletions, duplications, and point mutations at this gene locus may cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), or cardiomyopathy. Alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing result in numerous distinct transcript variants and protein isoforms for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.
PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.00678242 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 409934). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 63 of the DMD gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the DMD protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. -
