Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 1P and 7B. PP3BP4_ModerateBP6BS2

The NM_024334.3(TMEM43):​c.424G>A​(p.Glu142Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00105 in 1,614,138 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 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. E142Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Glu142Lys var iant in TMEM43 has been previously reported in 3 individuals with ARVC/D (Baskin 2013, Haywood 2013) and was identified by our laboratory in 1 Caucasian child w ith congenital DCM. In addition, this variant has been identified in 0.1% (49/66 614) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://e xac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs145619906) and was also identified in 1 homozygo us reportedly healthy control individual (Haywood 2013). Computational predictio n tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the prote in, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Glu142Lys variant is uncer tain, the frequency of this variant and its presence in an unaffected homozygous control individual suggests that it is more likely to be benign. -

Variant summary: TMEM43 c.424G>A (p.Glu142Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00055 in 251372 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00099 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 119-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TMEM43 causing Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy phenotype (8.3e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.424G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy, without strong evidence for causality (e.g. Haywood_2013, Baskin_2013, Donate Puertas_2018, Begay_2016, van Lint_2019) and has also been reported in the homozygous state in an unaffected control individual (Haywood_2013). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy. 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: 23812740, 28008423, 30276209, 23161701, 30847666). Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Four submitters classified the variant as likely benign and two classified it as VUS. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
