Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001079802.2(FKTN):c.411C>A(p.Cys137*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000149 in 1,612,740 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. C137C) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Walker-Warburg congenital muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys137*) in the FKTN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FKTN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17044012, 17878207, 18752264). This variant is present in population databases (rs537001725, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features FKTN-related disease (PMID: 27124789, 28688748). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 167069). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
