The NM_003919.3(SGCE):c.386T>C(p.Ile129Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000686 in 1,458,624 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
SGCE (HGNC:10808): (sarcoglycan epsilon) This gene encodes the epsilon member of the sarcoglycan family. Sarcoglycans are transmembrane proteins that are components of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which link the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Unlike other family members which are predominantly expressed in striated muscle, the epsilon sarcoglycan is more broadly expressed. Mutations in this gene are associated with myoclonus-dystonia syndrome. This gene is imprinted, with preferential expression from the paternal allele. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
CASD1 (HGNC:16014): (CAS1 domain containing 1) Enables N-acetylneuraminate 7-O(or 9-O)-acetyltransferase activity. Involved in carbohydrate metabolic process. Is integral component of Golgi membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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. 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, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This sequence change replaces isoleucine with threonine at codon 129 of the SGCE protein (p.Ile129Thr). The isoleucine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between isoleucine and threonine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed to segregate with myoclonic dystonia in a family (PMID: 22026499). -
