Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points: 1P and 13B. PP2BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_024301.5(FKRP):​c.1177G>A​(p.Val393Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000339 in 1,612,960 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V393L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
FKRP (HGNC:17997): (fukutin related protein) This gene encodes a protein which is targeted to the medial Golgi apparatus and is necessary for posttranslational modification of dystroglycan. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital muscular dystrophy, cognitive disability, and cerebellar cysts. 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]

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Variant summary: FKRP c.1177G>A (p.Val393Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00049 in 246164 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0073 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in FKRP causing Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive phenotype (0.0024), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. c.1177G>A has been observed in an individual affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy without evidence for causality and with the variant classified as likely benign or a polymorphism in literature (e.g. Fu_2016, Sullivan_2023). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27439679, 37853563). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 137380). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The FKRP c.1177G>A; p.Val393Ile variant (rs140679502), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 137380). This variant is found in the African population with an allele frequency of 0.7% (162/24462 alleles, including 1 homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The valine at codon 393 is highly conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.66). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Val393Ile variant is uncertain at this time. Gene specific statement: Pathogenic variants in FKRP are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and are associated with muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy types A5, B5 and C5 (MIM: 613153, 606612, and 607155). Symptomatic heterozygous carriers have also been reported at least once in the literature and present with a milder phenotype (Schottlaender et al. 2015). -
