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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1848 of the DMD protein (p.Lys1848Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs369623931, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DMD-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 566836). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt DMD protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -

The p.K1848N variant (also known as c.5544G>T), located in coding exon 39 of the DMD gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 5544. The lysine at codon 1848 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been detected in a cohort of patients with features consistent with muscular dystrophy; however, clinical details were limited (Ge L et al. Open Med (Wars). 2024 Nov;19(1):20240916). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.0011% (2/182303) total alleles studied, with no hemizygote(s) observed. The highest observed frequency was 0.0153% (2/13098) of African/African American alleles. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
