Genes affected
TMEM43 (HGNC:28472): (transmembrane protein 43) This gene belongs to the TMEM43 family. Defects in this gene are the cause of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 5 (ARVD5), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC5). Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is an inherited disorder, often involving both ventricles, and is characterized by ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, sudden cardiac death, and fibrofatty replacement of cardiomyocytes. This gene contains a response element for PPAR gamma (an adipogenic transcription factor), which may explain the fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, a characteristic pathological finding in ARVC.

Variant summary: TMEM43 c.625T>G (p.Ser209Ala) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251420 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.625T>G has been reported in the literature as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing in at-least one individual reportedly affected with Cardiomyopathy (example, Walsh_2017). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Ser209Ala varia nt (TMEM43) has not been previously reported but has been identified by our labo ratory in 1 individual with DCM (this individual carried 3 additional variants o f unknown significance). Serine (Ser) at position 209 not conserved in mammals a nd some lower species, suggesting that a change may be tolerated. Computational tools (AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, SIFT) also predict that a change to alanine (Ala) i s not likely to impact the protein, though their accuracy. Although this data su pports that the Ser209Ala variant may be likely benign, additional studies are n eeded to further assess its clinical significance. -

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

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the TMEM43 gene. The S209A variant has been reported in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM); however, this patient also harbored variants in other cardiomyopathy-related genes (Pugh et al., 2014). Furthermore, the S209A variant has been classified as a variant of uncertain significance by another clinical laboratory in ClinVar (SCV000063074.5; Landrum et al., 2016). The S209A variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The S209A variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant likely does not alter the protein structure/function.Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or rare benign. -

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

This missense variant replaces serine with alanine at codon 209 of the TMEM43 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 24503780). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 209 of the TMEM43 protein (p.Ser209Ala). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 46151). 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 TMEM43 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
