Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP3

The NM_001079802.2(FKTN):c.1046T>C(p.Val349Ala) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000807 in 1,611,374 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 2/2 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V349I) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
FKTN (HGNC:3622): (fukutin) The protein encoded by this gene is a putative transmembrane protein that is localized to the cis-Golgi compartment, where it may be involved in the glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan in skeletal muscle. The encoded protein is thought to be a glycosyltransferase and could play a role in brain development. Defects in this gene are a cause of Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2M (LGMD2M), and dilated cardiomyopathy type 1X (CMD1X). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxAug 08, 2017A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the FKTN gene. The V349A variant has not been published as pathogenic or been reported as benign to our knowledge. This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Nevertheless, V349A is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 02, 2018The p.V349A variant (also known as c.1046T>C), located in coding exon 8 of the FKTN gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1046. The valine at codon 349 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Walker-Warburg congenital muscular dystrophy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 17, 2021This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 349 of the FKTN protein (p.Val349Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs539089647, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FKTN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 451226). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
