Genes affected
LDB3 (HGNC:15710): (LIM domain binding 3) This gene encodes a PDZ domain-containing protein. PDZ motifs are modular protein-protein interaction domains consisting of 80-120 amino acid residues. PDZ domain-containing proteins interact with each other in cytoskeletal assembly or with other proteins involved in targeting and clustering of membrane proteins. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with alpha-actinin-2 through its N-terminal PDZ domain and with protein kinase C via its C-terminal LIM domains. The LIM domain is a cysteine-rich motif defined by 50-60 amino acids containing two zinc-binding modules. This protein also interacts with all three members of the myozenin family. Mutations in this gene have been associated with myofibrillar myopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified; all isoforms have N-terminal PDZ domains while only longer isoforms (1, 2 and 5) have C-terminal LIM domains.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJun 01, 2020Identified independently and in conjunction with additional variants in individuals with various cardiac phenotypes in published literature and tested at GeneDx; however, segregation data are limited at this time and this variant was also identified in control populations (Semmler et al., 2014; Lopes et al., 2015; Miszalski-Jamka et al., 2017); In silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25351510, 25208129, 28798025, 25617006) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesNov 08, 2019The LDB3 c.664G>A; p.Ala222Thr variant (rs139922045) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular noncompaction, myofibrillar myopathy, or inclusion body sinusitis, although it was not demonstrated to cause disease in these individuals (Lopes 2015, Miszalski-Jamka 2017, Semmler 2014, Weihl 2015). This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an overall allele frequency of 0.07% (93/124816 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database, and it is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 45551). The alanine at codon 222 is highly conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. Given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Ala222Thr variant is uncertain at this time. References: Lopes LR et al.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 25, 2022Variant summary: LDB3 c.664G>A (p.Ala222Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00035 in 239460 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00071 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 28.4 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in LDB3 causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (2.5e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.664G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with sporadic inclusion body myositis, myofibrillar myopathy, left ventricular non-compaction, and pediatric primary cardiomyopathy; in the latter three cases a pathogenic variant in a different gene was reported in the patients which could explain their phenotype, supporting a benign role for LDB3 c.664G>A (Weihl_2015, Semmler_2014, Miszalski-Jamka_2017, Kuhnisch_2019). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments: four submitters classified the variant as VUS while three classified as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineApr 22, 2014Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Ala222Thr varia nt in LDB3 has been identified by our laboratory in 1 Caucasian infant with HCM, 1 Caucasian young adult with unspecified cardiomyopathy, and 1 Caucasian adult with HCM. This variant has also been identified in 4/8600 of European American c hromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/E VS/; dbSNP rs139922045). Computational prediction tools do not provide strong su pport for or against an impact to the protein. However, alanine (Ala) at positio n 222 is not conserved in evolution and the change to threonine (Thr) is present in several species (black flying fox, megabat, and lizard), suggesting that a c hange at this position may be tolerated. In summary, while the clinical signific ance of the Ala222Thr variant is uncertain, these data suggest that it is more l ikely to be benign. -
