Genes affected
ACTN2 (HGNC:164): (actinin alpha 2) Alpha actinins belong to the spectrin gene superfamily which represents a diverse group of cytoskeletal proteins, including the alpha and beta spectrins and dystrophins. Alpha actinin is an actin-binding protein with multiple roles in different cell types. In nonmuscle cells, the cytoskeletal isoform is found along microfilament bundles and adherens-type junctions, where it is involved in binding actin to the membrane. In contrast, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle isoforms are localized to the Z-disc and analogous dense bodies, where they help anchor the myofibrillar actin filaments. This gene encodes a muscle-specific, alpha actinin isoform that is expressed in both skeletal and cardiac muscles. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJun 14, 2016Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Gln9Arg varia nt in ACTN2 has been reported in 2 infants and 2 adults with DCM (including 1 ca rrying a pathogenic variant in another gene), 1 adult with DCM, Afib, AVNRT, 3 a dults with HCM, segregating with disease in 1 affected family member, (and inclu ding 1 carrying a pathogenic variant in another gene), 2 teenagers with LV dilat ion, and 1 adult with LVH (Mohapatra 2003, Bos 2006 abstract, LMM data).This var iant has been identified in 0.1% (71/64536) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs121434525 ). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Gln9Arg variant may impact protein function (Mohapatra 2003). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. While animal models provide some evidence for a disease-causing role, this has yet to be confirmed in patients (S anchez 2005 abstract). In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Gln 9Arg variant is uncertain, these data suggest that it is more likely to be benig n. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCenter for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoMar 30, 2021ACTN2 NM_001103.3 exon 1 p.Gln9Arg (c.26A>G): This variant has been reported in the literature in two individuals with DCM, but did not segregate with disease in one affected family member (Mohapatra 2003 PMID:14567970, Cuenca 2016 PMID:26899768). This variant is also present in 0.1% (135/116270) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-236849999-A-G) and is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:18313). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may not impact the protein. An in vitro functional study did suggest an impact to the protein through disruption of interaction with MLP protein (Mohapatra 2003 PMID:14567970). However, this study may not accurately represent in vivo biological function. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
