Genes affected

TMEM43 (HGNC:28472): (transmembrane protein 43) This gene belongs to the TMEM43 family. Defects in this gene are the cause of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 5 (ARVD5), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC5). Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is an inherited disorder, often involving both ventricles, and is characterized by ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, sudden cardiac death, and fibrofatty replacement of cardiomyocytes. This gene contains a response element for PPAR gamma (an adipogenic transcription factor), which may explain the fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, a characteristic pathological finding in ARVC.

p.Gly188Gly in Exon 07 of TMEM43: This variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, is not located wit hin the splice consensus sequence. It has been identified in 0.1% (3/3738) of Af rican American chromosomes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS; dbSNP rs143124744). -

Variant summary: TMEM43 c.564C>T alters a conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant creates/strengthens a cryptic 5' donor site and also predict the variant weakens/abolishes a cryptic 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.2e-05 in 251472 control chromosomes, found exclusively within the African or African-American subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0008 in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 96 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TMEM43 causing Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy phenotype (8.3e-06), suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.564C>T in individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as either likely benign (n=3) or VUS (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign until further evidence is available to determine the variant effect on normal splicing and function. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
