Genes affected

NEXN (HGNC:29557): (nexilin F-actin binding protein) This gene encodes a filamentous actin-binding protein that may function in cell adhesion and migration. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, also known as CMD1CC. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_144573.4. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.

The Lys586del variant in NEXN has not been reported in the literature nor previo usly identified by our laboratory. This in-frame deletion removes the lysine (Ly s) residue at position 586. The NEXN gene has not been widely sequenced and the refore the types of variants leading to disease are not yet well characterized. Of note, our laboratory has identified single amino acid deletions in 3 individu als with DCM. In summary, additional information is needed to fully assess the c linical significance of the Lys586del variant. -

Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available for this variant, and the functional significance of the deleted amino acid is currently unknown. This variant has been observed in an individual affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 47896). This variant is present in population databases (rs771017447, ExAC 0.003%). This variant, c.1756_1758delAAG, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid of the NEXN protein (p.Lys586del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. 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. -
