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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

The p.Thr668Arg variant in ACTN2 (ClinVar variation ID 43922) has been identified by our laboratory in one adult with DCM and 1 an infant with LVNC, both of whom also carried variants of unknown significance in other genes, and one Caucasian adult with HCM whom carried a known pathogenic variant in an HCM associated gene (LMM unpublished data, Walsh 2017). It has been identified in 0.01% (12/113748) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Given the rarity of pathogenic ACTN2 variants, this frequency suggests that this variant may not be highly penetrant or may be benign. 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 this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: none.

Reported in association with DCM and LVNC in published literature and in individuals referred for genetic testing at GeneDx; however, detailed clinical information was not provided and/or additional cardiogenetic variants were also identified (Pugh et al., 2014; Walsh et al., 2017; Mazzarotto et al., 2021); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24503780, 33500567, 27532257)

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
