Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPVS1_StrongPM3_SupportingPP4_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_003494.4: c.1053+1G>A variant in DYSF, which is also known as NM_001130987.2: c.1149+1G>A, occurs within the canonical splice donor site of intron 11. RNAseq analysis has shown that this variant disrupts splicing, resulting in two different frameshifts and premature truncations, p.Arg313ProfsTer8 and p.His314GlufsTer9, as well as an inframe deletion of 66 amino acids, p.Val286_Pro351del (PMID:36983702; PVS1_Strong_RNA). This variant has been identified in at least four individuals with LGMD (PMID:27602406; 24488599; 36983702), including in unknown phase with a pathogenic variant (NM_003494.4: c.610C>T p.(Arg204Ter), 0.5 pts, PMID:27602406; PM3_Supporting). At least one patient with this variant displayed progressive limb girdle muscle weakness and absent dysferlin protein expression, which is highly specific for DYSF-associated LGMD (PMID:36983702; PP4_Strong). Another nucleotide change affecting the same splice motif, NM_003494.4: c.1053+5G>A, has also been shown to result in skipping of exon 11 and is classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy by the ClinGen LGMD VCEP. The filtering allele frequency of this variant is 0.000006973 in gnomAD v4.1.0 exomes (the upper threshold of the 95% CI of 3/1111878 European (non-Finnish) chromosomes), which is less than the ClinGen LGMD VCEP threshold (≤0.0001) (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LGMD VCEP (LGMD VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; 04/17/2025): PVS1_Strong_RNA, PM3_Supporting, PP4_Strong, PM2_Supporting.

Genes affected
DYSF (HGNC:3097): (dysferlin) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ferlin family and is a skeletal muscle protein found associated with the sarcolemma. It is involved in muscle contraction and contains C2 domains that play a role in calcium-mediated membrane fusion events, suggesting that it may be involved in membrane regeneration and repair. In addition, the protein encoded by this gene binds caveolin-3, a skeletal muscle membrane protein which is important in the formation of caveolae. Specific mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) as well as Miyoshi myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
