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]

The Trp200Arg variant in EMD has not been previously reported in individuals wit h cardiomyopathy, but has been identified in 2/6728 European American chromosome s by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSN P rs374981936). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the Trp200Arg variant is uncertain. -

The p.W200R variant (also known as c.598T>C), located in coding exon 6 of the EMD gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 598. The tryptophan at codon 200 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on data from gnomAD, the C allele has an overall frequency of 0.002% (5/204696) total alleles studied, with 2 hemizygote(s) observed. The highest observed frequency was 0.005% (5/92220) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
