Genes affected

DMD (HGNC:2928): (dystrophin) This gene spans a genomic range of greater than 2 Mb and encodes a large protein containing an N-terminal actin-binding domain and multiple spectrin repeats. The encoded protein forms a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which bridges the inner cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. Deletions, duplications, and point mutations at this gene locus may cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), or cardiomyopathy. Alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing result in numerous distinct transcript variants and protein isoforms for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-32699257-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-32699257-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 455925.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.686T>G; p.Leu229Ter variant, to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 455925). Additionally, another variant (c.686T>A) that leads to the same p.Leu229Ter alteration has been reported in an individual with DMD and in a DMD carrier (Flanigan 2009, Takeshima 2010). The c.686T>G variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Flanigan KM et al.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu229*) in the DMD gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with DMD-related conditions. Loss-of-function variants in DMD are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16770791, 25007885). -
