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
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedliterature onlyOMIMMar 01, 2005- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 17, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 490 of the CAPN3 protein (p.Arg490Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs121434548, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 9266733, 14578192, 15221789, 21984748, 22378277, 27023906, 27431290). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as NM_173087:c.1325G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17622). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CAPN3 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg490 amino acid residue in CAPN3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7720071, 14578192, 15221789, 16372320, 16971480, 17157502, 18563459, 18854869, 19015733, 19226146, 21204801, 25135358, 25252031, 26632398, 27055500). 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterresearchBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardDec 03, 2018The homozygous p.Arg490Gln variant in CAPN3 was identified by our study in one individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). This variant has been identified in 0.006860% (19/276950) of chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs121434548). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The p.Arg490Gln variant in CAPN3 has been reported in 11 individuals with LGMD and segregated with disease in 2 affected relatives from 1 family (PMID: 16971480, 22378277, 16411092). The presence of this variant in combination with 4 variants (2 reported pathogenic, 2 reported in the literature only) and in 5 individuals with LGMD increases the likelihood that the p.Arg490Gln variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 17621, 289644). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Arg490Gln variant may impact protein function by impairing autolytic activity (PMID: 16971480). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for p.Arg490Gln in an autosomal recessive manner based on evidence from function studies and multiple occurrences with pathogenic CAPN3 variants in individuals with hearing loss). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PP3, PP1, PM3_Strong, PS3 (Richards 2015). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGMMay 20, 2023The observed misssense c.1469G>A(p.Arg490Gln) variant has been reported in homozygous state in multiple patients affected with CAPN3 related disorders (Fanin M, et. al., 2003). Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant impairs calpain-3 autolytic activity (Fanin M, et. al., 2007; Fanin M, et. al., 2005). This variant is present with an allele frequency of 0.007% in gnomAD Exomes database. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Likely pathogenic/ Pathogenic (multiple submissions). Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - probably damaging, SIFT - damaging and MutationTaster -disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The reference amino acid is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Arg at position 490 is changed to a Gln changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 11, 2022Variant summary: CAPN3 c.1469G>A (p.Arg490Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Calpain subdomain III (IPR033883) of the encoded protein sequence. 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 6.8e-05 in 251152 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in CAPN3 causing Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive (6.8e-05 vs 0.0032), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1469G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive (e.g. Richard_1999, Fanin_2007). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant impairs calpain-3 autolytic activity (Fanin_2007). Seven ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
