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]

The p.F20V variant (also known as c.58T>G), located in coding exon 1 of the FKTN gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 58. The phenylalanine at codon 20 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with valine at codon 20 of the FKTN protein (p.Phe20Val). The phenylalanine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and valine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with LBBB, PVC, atrial fibrillation, nonischemic cardiomyopathy (Invitae). 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. -
