Published functional studies demonstrate decreased protein expression and increased propensity to form punctate aggregates (PMID: 26133662); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27147698, 30684953, 28433477, 27766311, 26133662, 26310427, 27874200, 30060766, 28478914, 29437916, 32115343, 31980526, 32528171, 37273706, 35006422) -

Muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:1
The p.Arg287Trp variant in GMPPB has been reported in >10 individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (Jensen 2015, Oestergaard 2016, Montagnese 2016, Balcin 2017, Sarkozy 2018, Johnson 2018) or congenital myasthenic syndrome (Belaya 2015), all of whom were compound heterozygous with a pathogenic variant on the other allele. This variant also segregated with disease in 1 affected family member (Oestergaard 2016). It was also identified in 0.01% (25/127816) of European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Another missense variant at this same codon, p.Arg287Gln, has been reported in multiple individuals with features of limb-girdle and other muscular dystrophies (Sun 2019). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Arg287Trp variant may impact protein stability (Belaya 2015); however, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy in an autosomal recessive manner based upon the presence of the variant in trans with a pathogenic variant in affected individuals, the overall low general population frequency, and a different pathogenic missense at the same position.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 287 of the GMPPB protein (p.Arg287Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs142908436, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with GMPPB-related disease (PMID: 26133662, 27766311, 27874200, 28478914). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 225925). 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 not expected to disrupt GMPPB protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GMPPB function (PMID: 26133662). This variant disrupts the p.Arg287 amino acid residue in GMPPB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 24780531, 26133662). 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. -
