Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4BS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_003494.4: c.38844-4C>G variant in DYSF, which is also known as NM_001130987.2: c.3898-4C>G, is an intronic variant located in intron 34 of 54. The filtering allele frequency for this variant is 0.001881 for the South Asian population in gnomAD v4.1.0 (the lower threshold of the 95% CI of 184/86258 exome chromosomes), which is greater than the ClinGen LGMD VCEP threshold of 0.001 for BS1, and therefore meets this criterion (BS1). While this variant is located in a splice region (+7/-21) (BP7 not met), the SpliceAI score is 0.03, which is less than the LGMD VCEP threshold of 0.05 (BP4). This variant appears to have been reported in an individual undergoing genetic testing for muscular dystrophy, but only as a single hit (LOVD DYSF_001370). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the LGMD VCEP (LGMD VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; 01/09/2025): BS1, BP4.

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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 26, 2024- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
