This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_003494.4: c.3113G>A variant in DYSF, which is also known as NM_001130987.2: c.3167G>A (p.Arg1056Gln), is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by glutamine at amino acid 1038, p.(Arg1038Gln). This variant has been detected in at least seven patients with features consistent with LGMD (PMID:36983702, 26404900, 34559919, 14678801, 30919934, 27854218, 21522182), including in a homozygous state (0.5 pts, PMID:30919934) and confirmed in trans (NM_003494.4: c.2643+1G>A, 1.0 pt, PMID:27854218) and in unknown phase (NM_003494.4: c.5979dup p.(Glu1994ArgfsTer3), 0.25 pts, PMID:14678801, 26404900; NM_003494.4: c.2077delC p.(His693ThrfsTer4), 0.25 pts, PMID:21522182) with a variant classified as at least likely pathogenic (PM3_Strong). At least one patient with this variant displayed a clinical suspicion or diagnosis of LGMD and absent or severely reduced dysferlin protein expression, which is highly specific for DYSF-associated LGMD (PP4_Strong, PMID:36983702, 14678801, 21522182). The filtering allele frequency of this variant is 0.000056915 (the upper threshold of the 95% CI of 50/1111952 European (non-Finnish) exome chromosomes) in gnomAD v4.1.0, which is less than the ClinGen LGMD VCEP threshold (≤0.0001) (PM2_Supporting). Immunofluorescence and 2-A assays of dysferlin membrane localization in HEK293T cells showed the Arg1038Gln protein did not reach the cell membrane, indicating an impact on protein function (PMID:35028538) (PS3_Moderate). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.94, which is above the LGMD VCEP threshold of 0.70, evidence that correlates with impact to DYSF function (PP3). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LGMD VCEP (LGMD VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; 02/25/2025): PM3_Strong, PP4_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PS3_Moderate, PP3.

Genes affected
DYSF (HGNC:3097): (dysferlin) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ferlin family and is a skeletal muscle protein found associated with the sarcolemma. It is involved in muscle contraction and contains C2 domains that play a role in calcium-mediated membrane fusion events, suggesting that it may be involved in membrane regeneration and repair. In addition, the protein encoded by this gene binds caveolin-3, a skeletal muscle membrane protein which is important in the formation of caveolae. Specific mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) as well as Miyoshi myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

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

The R1038Q pathogenic variant has been previously observed in multiple unrelated individuals with DYSF-related disorders, who harbored an additional DYSF variant, referred for genetic testing at GeneDx and in the published literature (Cagliani et al., 2003; Krahn et al., 2009). Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry demonstrated individuals harboring R1038Q had reduced dysferlin (Cagliani et al., 2003; Xi et al., 2014; Nagaraju et al., 2008). The R1038Q variant is observed in 11/111,482 (0.01%) alleles from individuals of European background (Lek et al., 2016). This variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support a deleterious effect. Therefore, we interpret R1038Q as a pathogenic variant. -

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

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.005%). Protein truncation variants are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.94; 3Cnet: 0.99). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000242418). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Arg1056Pro) has been reported to be associated with DYSF related disorder (PMID: 33610434). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

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

The DYSF c.3113G>A (p.Arg1038Gln) variant has been reported in at least six studies and is found in a total of nine patients with dysferlinopathy, including one homozygote, four presumed compound heterozygotes, one patient where four other variants in this gene were also identified, one heterozygote, and two patients in whom the genotypes were not specified (Cagliani et al. 2003; Nagaraju et al. 2008; Krahn et al. 2009; Xi et al. 2014; Shin et al. 2015 and Quinn et al. 2016). The p.Arg1038Gln variant was absent from 300 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.00018 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Analysis of protein from muscle tissue revealed 4% residual dysferlin compared to wild type (Cagliani et al. 2003). Based on the collective evidence, the p.Arg1038Gln variant is classified as pathogenic for dysferlinopathy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1038 of the DYSF protein (p.Arg1038Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs150877497, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with DYSF-related conditions (PMID: 14678801, 18832576, 18853459, 25591676, 27821570). This variant is also known as p.Arg1056Gln. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 242418). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DYSF protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DYSF function (PMID: 27821570). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The NM_003494.4: c.3113G>A variant in DYSF, which is also known as NM_001130987.2: c.3167G>A (p.Arg1056Gln), is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by glutamine at amino acid 1038, p.(Arg1038Gln). This variant has been detected in at least seven patients with features consistent with LGMD (PMID: 36983702, 26404900, 34559919, 14678801, 30919934, 27854218, 21522182), including in a homozygous state (0.5 pts, PMID: 30919934) and confirmed in trans (NM_003494.4: c.2643+1G>A, 1.0 pt, PMID: 27854218) and in unknown phase (NM_003494.4: c.5979dup p.(Glu1994ArgfsTer3), 0.25 pts, PMID: 14678801, 26404900; NM_003494.4: c.2077delC p.(His693ThrfsTer4), 0.25 pts, PMID: 21522182) with a variant classified as at least likely pathogenic (PM3_Strong). At least one patient with this variant displayed a clinical suspicion or diagnosis of LGMD and absent or severely reduced dysferlin protein expression, which is highly specific for DYSF-associated LGMD (PP4_Strong, PMID: 36983702, 14678801, 21522182). The filtering allele frequency of this variant is 0.000056915 (the upper threshold of the 95% CI of 50/1111952 European (non-Finnish) exome chromosomes) in gnomAD v4.1.0, which is less than the ClinGen LGMD VCEP threshold (≤0.0001) (PM2_Supporting). Immunofluorescence and 2-A assays of dysferlin membrane localization in HEK293T cells showed the Arg1038Gln protein did not reach the cell membrane, indicating an impact on protein function (PMID: 35028538) (PS3_Moderate). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.94, which is above the LGMD VCEP threshold of 0.70, evidence that correlates with impact to DYSF function (PP3). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LGMD VCEP (LGMD VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; 02/25/2025): PM3_Strong, PP4_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PS3_Moderate, PP3. -
