Genes affected

NEB (HGNC:7720): (nebulin) This gene encodes nebulin, a giant protein component of the cytoskeletal matrix that coexists with the thick and thin filaments within the sarcomeres of skeletal muscle. In most vertebrates, nebulin accounts for 3 to 4% of the total myofibrillar protein. The encoded protein contains approximately 30-amino acid long modules that can be classified into 7 types and other repeated modules. Protein isoform sizes vary from 600 to 800 kD due to alternative splicing that is tissue-, species-,and developmental stage-specific. Of the 183 exons in the nebulin gene, at least 43 are alternatively spliced, although exons 143 and 144 are not found in the same transcript. Of the several thousand transcript variants predicted for nebulin, the RefSeq Project has decided to create three representative RefSeq records. Mutations in this gene are associated with recessive nemaline myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

NEB links:

RIF1 (HGNC:23207): (replication timing regulatory factor 1) This gene encodes a protein that shares homology with the yeast teleomere binding protein, Rap1 interacting factor 1. This protein localizes to aberrant telomeres may be involved in DNA repair. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

Nemaline myopathy 2

Pathogenic:3

Jun 27, 2016

Knight Diagnostic Laboratories, Oregon Health and Sciences University

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.23847+2T>C splice variant in the NEB gene has not been previously reported in patients and this variant is absent (1000 Genomes; Exome Sequencing Project) or reported at low frequency in the population databases (ExAC = 0.01%; only 2 alleles). Splice-site, nonsense, and frameshift variants have been described in the NEB gene in multiple affected individuals (including nonsense and frameshift variants downstream of this variant) and thus, loss of function is a known mechanism of disease (GeneReviews: North and Ryan, 2015). Multiple in silico algorithms show high evolutionary conservation (CADD = 18.14; GERP=5.48), and in silico splicing algorithms predict this variant will cause altered splicing (Human Splice Finder=Broken WT Donor Site; SPIDEX=-3.228). Therefore, this collective evidence supports the classification of the c.23847+2T>C variant as a Likely pathogenic variant for Nemaline Myopathy 2. We have confirmed this finding in our laboratory using Sanger sequencing. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 166 of the NEB gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NEB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25205138). This variant is present in population databases (rs545937015, gnomAD 0.008%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NEB-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 375408). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Nemaline myopathy

Feb 28, 2025

Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

The c.23742+2T>C variant in NEB has not been previously reported in the literature in individuals with nemaline myopathy, but has been identified in 0.008% (98/1179056) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs545937015). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 375408) and has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by Knight Diagnostic Laboratories (Oregon Health and Sciences University), Invitae, PerkinElmer Genomics, and Natera Inc., and as a variant of uncertain significance by the Laboratory for Molecular Medicine (Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine). This variant is located in the 5' splice region. Computational tools predict a splicing impact, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Loss of function of the NEB gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive nemaline myopathy. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive nemaline myopathy.

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The c.23847+2T>C variant in NEB has not been previously reported in individuals with myopathy but has been identified in 0.008% (10/128308) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 375408). This variant occurs within the canonical splice site (+/- 1,2), but splicing predictors do not predict a significant change in splicing and the exons surrounding this variant are in-frame. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_Moderate, PMS2 -
