Genes affected
CAPN3 (HGNC:1480): (calpain 3) Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 435 of the CAPN3 protein (p.Glu435Lys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 18854869, 20635405, 23553538, 33931068). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 282173). 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 CAPN3 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CAPN3 function (PMID: 19226146). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Reported in the heterozygous state without a second identifiable CAPN3 variant in an individual with late onset limb girdle muscular dystrophy who had complete calpain-3 deficiency on Western blot (PMID: 15221789); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); 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: 19226146, 16141003, 31589614, 32528171, 18854869, 11371436, 26363099, 34149409, Aksu2020[casereport], 20635405, 23553538, 35157181, 33931068, 38812636, 15221789) -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) Assessment of experimental evidence regarding the effect of this variant on protein function is inconclusive. Experiments performed in the paralagous protein, calpain-2 of rat, suggest this variant increases autocatalytic activity, however, it is unclear if this would also be true in calpain-3. In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CAPN3 c.1303G>A (p.Glu435Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Peptidase C2, calpain, large subunit, domain III (IPR022682) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.4e-05 in 250332 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CAPN3 causing Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive (8.4e-05 vs 0.0032), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1303G>A has been reported in the literature in homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, hyperCkemia, or with clinical symptoms of a neuromuscular disorder or in heterozygous individuals without reported second variant (e.g. Ozyilmaz_2022, Fanin_2009, Saenz_2005, Piluso_2004, Topf_2020, Quick_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Several publications provide functional evidence suggesting the variant causes significant deficits of calpain-3 quantity and loss of autolytic activity in vitro (e.g. Fanin_2009) or accelerates autolytic degradation, lowering overall enzyme activity (e.g. Granham_2009). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18854869, 19226146, 35157181, 16141003, 33931068, 15689361, 32528171). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 282173). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
