Genes affected
ACTN2 (HGNC:164): (actinin alpha 2) Alpha actinins belong to the spectrin gene superfamily which represents a diverse group of cytoskeletal proteins, including the alpha and beta spectrins and dystrophins. Alpha actinin is an actin-binding protein with multiple roles in different cell types. In nonmuscle cells, the cytoskeletal isoform is found along microfilament bundles and adherens-type junctions, where it is involved in binding actin to the membrane. In contrast, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle isoforms are localized to the Z-disc and analogous dense bodies, where they help anchor the myofibrillar actin filaments. This gene encodes a muscle-specific, alpha actinin isoform that is expressed in both skeletal and cardiac muscles. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

The 2367+5G>A variant (ACTN2) has not been reported in the literature nor previo usly identified by our laboratory. This variant is located in the 5' splice regi on. Computational tools predict possible altered splicing. However, this informa tion is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. This variant has been identified in 2/7020 European American chromosomes in a broad control popultatio n by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS). In s ummary, additional information is needed to fully assess the clinical significan ce of the 2367+5G>A variant. -

This sequence change falls in intron 19 of the ACTN2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ACTN2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs200469353, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ACTN2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43927). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar Variant ID# 43927; Landrum et al., 2016); In-silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing; in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown -
