Genes affected
FKTN (HGNC:3622): (fukutin) The protein encoded by this gene is a putative transmembrane protein that is localized to the cis-Golgi compartment, where it may be involved in the glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan in skeletal muscle. The encoded protein is thought to be a glycosyltransferase and could play a role in brain development. Defects in this gene are a cause of Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2M (LGMD2M), and dilated cardiomyopathy type 1X (CMD1X). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Walker-Warburg congenital muscular dystrophy Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 17, 2022This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 387 of the FKTN protein (p.Gly387Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs148975262, gnomAD 0.08%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FKTN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 167070). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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 testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 19, 2022Variant summary: FKTN c.1159G>A (p.Gly387Arg) results in a non-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 0.00043 in 250638 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in FKTN causing Cardiomyopathy (0.00043 vs 0.005), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1159G>A in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (Internal data, MYBPC3, c.3627+1G>A), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
FKTN-related condition Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 21, 2023The FKTN c.1159G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly387Arg. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.082% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Dilated cardiomyopathy 1X Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 12, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 06, 2022The p.G387R variant (also known as c.1159G>A), located in coding exon 8 of the FKTN gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1159. The glycine at codon 387 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
