Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.

The NM_198576.4(AGRN):​c.44_45delCGinsGT​(p.Pro15Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. The variant is present in control chromosomes in GnomAd MNV project. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000667 in 54 alleles, including 0 homozygotes. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P15L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

AGRN (HGNC:329): (agrin) This gene encodes one of several proteins that are critical in the development of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), as identified in mouse knock-out studies. The encoded protein contains several laminin G, Kazal type serine protease inhibitor, and epidermal growth factor domains. Additional post-translational modifications occur to add glycosaminoglycans and disulfide bonds. In one family with congenital myasthenic syndrome affecting limb-girdle muscles, a mutation in this gene was found. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 15 of the AGRN protein (p.Pro15Arg). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 7%), 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 AGRN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 541157). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
