Genes affected

EMD (HGNC:3331): (emerin) Emerin is a serine-rich nuclear membrane protein and a member of the nuclear lamina-associated protein family. It mediates membrane anchorage to the cytoskeleton. Dreifuss-Emery muscular dystrophy is an X-linked inherited degenerative myopathy resulting from mutation in the emerin gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.188 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-154381051-CG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-154381051-CG-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 433171.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-154381051-CG-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:1

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro208Leufs*29) in the EMD gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 47 amino acid(s) of the EMD protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (PMID: 8595407, 9195226). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as "delG at nucleotide position 1679". ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 433171). This variant disrupts a region of the EMD protein in which other variant(s) (p.Trp226*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8589715, 15967842). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
