Genes affected
MYOT (HGNC:12399): (myotilin) This gene encodes a cystoskeletal protein which plays a significant role in the stability of thin filaments during muscle contraction. This protein binds F-actin, crosslinks actin filaments, and prevents latrunculin A-induced filament disassembly. Mutations in this gene have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and myofibrillar myopathies. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
PKD2L2-DT (HGNC:55557): (PKD2L2 divergent transcript)

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 60 of the MYOT protein (p.Ser60Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with myofibrillar myopathy (PMID: 15111675, 16684602, 19225410, 21676617, 22349301, 26842778). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5836). 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 MYOT protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MYOT function (PMID: 21361873, 22349301). This variant disrupts the p.Ser60 amino acid residue in MYOT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16684602, 16793270, 19590214, 26842778). 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. -

Published functional studies demonstrate reduced degradation of myotilin (PMID: 21361873, 22349301); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Missense variants in this gene are a common cause of disease and they are underrepresented in the general population; In silico analysis suggests that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34440373, 31561939, 22349301, 15947064, 15111675, 27618136, 21361873, 32403337, 32041727, 22021208, 26842778, 21676617) -

This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features associated with this gene. At least one other missense variant at this codon is considered to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic, suggesting this variant may also cause disease. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. This variant affected protein organization in muscle cells (PMID: 22349301). -
