Genes affected

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.49).
• BP6: Variant X-32343126-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chrX-32343126-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 455914.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.
• BS2: High Hemizygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 2 XL geneVariant has number of hemizygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Variant summary: DMD c.5739+8T>C alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.5e-06 in 182801 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.5739+8T>C in individuals affected with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 455914). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
