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]

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A Pathogenic:3

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	research	Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard	Apr 11, 2024	The p.Tyr170Cys variant in CAPN3 was identified by our study in 2 siblings with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, in the compound heterozygous state along with another pathogenic variant. The phase of these variants are unknown at this time. The p.Tyr170Cys variant has also been reported in 4 individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 18055493, 23821418, 25135358), and has been identified in 0.002% (1/44892) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP: rs1555420468). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 557074) and has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by Counsyl and pathogenic by Invitae. Of the five affected individuals, four were compound heterozygotes that carried a reported pathogenic variant with unknown phase, which increases the likelihood that the p.Tyr170Cys variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 17621, 283259; (PMID: 18055493, 23821418, 25135358). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_strong, PP3_moderate, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 31, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557074). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 18055493, 23821418, 25135358, 31127727; external communication). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 170 of the CAPN3 protein (p.Tyr170Cys). -
