Genes affected
DYSF (HGNC:3097): (dysferlin) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ferlin family and is a skeletal muscle protein found associated with the sarcolemma. It is involved in muscle contraction and contains C2 domains that play a role in calcium-mediated membrane fusion events, suggesting that it may be involved in membrane regeneration and repair. In addition, the protein encoded by this gene binds caveolin-3, a skeletal muscle membrane protein which is important in the formation of caveolae. Specific mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) as well as Miyoshi myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingNatera, Inc.Oct 28, 2019- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The synonymous variant p.K1637= in DYSF (NM_001130987.2) has been submitted to ClinVar as a Variant of Uncertain Significance, but no details are available for independent assessment. It has not been reported in affected individuals. This p.Lys1637 type of mutation causes no change in the protein that is produced, which is why it's considered as synonymous mutation. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 43 of the DYSF coding sequence, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (Buratti et al, 2007, Zhang et al, 1998). The nucleotide c.4911 in DYSF is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. In the absence of another reportable variant molecular diagnosis is not confirmed. -
Qualitative or quantitative defects of dysferlin Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeApr 27, 2022This sequence change affects codon 1598 of the DYSF mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the DYSF protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 43, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs141704244, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 288089). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts the c.4794G nucleotide in the DYSF gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 27195159). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMolecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne HospitalMar 01, 2024This sequence change is a synonymous (silent) variant altering the last base of exon 44 of DYSF that is predicted to impact splicing (SpliceAI). The highest population minor allele frequency in the population database gnomAD v4.0 is 0.04% (39/91,076 alleles) in the South Asian population, which is consistent with recessive disease. This variant has been observed with a second variant of uncertain significance in an individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD, PMID: 30564623). Another variant at the same nucleotide position (c.4911G>T) with a similar predicted splice impact to the variant under assessment has been classified as likely pathogenic for LGMD (ClinVar ID: ID: 94331; PMID: 21520333, 27195159, 30564623, 33610434, 36983702). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG/AMP Guidelines v1.6.1, this variant is classified as a VARIANT OF UNCERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE. Following criteria are met: PM2_Supporting, PP3, PS1_Moderate. -
