Genes affected
CAPN3 (HGNC:1480): (calpain 3) Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A Pathogenic:7
Jan 06, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 572 of the CAPN3 protein (p.Arg572Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs121434544, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A) (PMID: 7720071, 10102422, 16650086, 27066545, 27708273). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17614). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CAPN3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CAPN3 function (PMID: 9642272, 16627476). This variant disrupts the p.R472 amino acid residue in CAPN3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9150160, 10330340, 15221789, 16650086). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.94 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.97 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000017614 /PMID: 7720071). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg572Pro, p.Arg572Trp) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000217152, VCV000287131 /PMID: 16141003, 9150160). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant reduces autolytic activity (PMID: 16627476); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19156839, 7720071, 9642272, 16650086, 15221789, 10330340, 10102422, 10639725, 27708273, 31589614, 8624690, 10094566, 10818750, 31410652, 27500519, 32528171, 27066545, 16627476) -

Variant summary: CAPN3 c.1715G>A (p.Arg572Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Peptidase C2, calpain, large subunit, domain III (IPR022682) of the encoded protein sequence. This alters a highly conserved residue (HGMD) in which three other missense variants have been found in association with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, one of which is classified as pathogenic in ClinVar (p.Arg572Trp). Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251280 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1715G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive (Krahn_2006, Reddy_2017, Richard_1995, Topf_2020), and in one family the affected individuals were compound heterozygous with a pathogenic variant. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant results in a loss of proteolytic and autolytic activity (Ono_1998, Ono_2006). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 7720071, 27708273, 32528171, 9642272, 16627476, 16650086). Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
