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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 20 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.3, offset of 28, new splice context is: gggGTgggt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 15-42409844-CG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-42409844-CG-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 557598.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr15-42409844-CG-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Counsyl	Apr 02, 2018	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 09, 2023	This sequence change affects a splice site in intron 18 of the CAPN3 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CAPN3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10330340, 15689361). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557598). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with limb girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 11525884, 15689361, 26632398, 30107846). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
