This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000232.5: c.271C>T variant in SGCB is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by cysteine at amino acid 91 p.(Arg91Cys). This variant has been detected in at least five individuals with signs of limb girdle muscular dystrophy, including in a homozygous state in families from the Plain community (0.5 pts; PMID:35416532, 9565988) and confirmed in trans with a pathogenic variant in two cases (c.85A>T p.(Arg29Ter), 2.0 pts, PMID:17994539, 11369190) (PM3_Strong). At least one patient with this variant was clinically suspected to have limb girdle muscular dystrophy and displayed severely reduced expression of β-sarcoglycan in skeletal muscle, which is highly specific for SGCB-related LGMD (PMID:11369190); however, the presence of potentially diagnostic variants in all of the other three sarcoglycan genes was not ruled out (PP4). The variant has also been reported to segregate with LGMD in at least two affected family members from two nuclear Plain community families (PP1_Moderate; PMID:9565988). The filtering allele frequency of this variant is 0.0002533 for South Asian exome chromosomes by gnomAD v2.1.1 (the upper threshold of the 95% CI of 3/30614), which is higher than the ClinGen LGMD VCEP threshold (<0.00009) for PM2_Supporting and therefore this criterion is not met. Expression of p.Arg91Cys in β-sarcoglycan in vitro has been shown to disrupt localization of the sarcoglycan complex to the plasma membrane, indicating an impact of the c.271C>T p.(Arg91Cys) variant on protein function (PMID:37317968) (PS3_Moderate). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.95, which is above the LGMD VCEP threshold of 0.70, evidence that correlates with impact to SGCB function (PP3). 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; 01/09/2025): PM3_Strong, PP4, PP1_Moderate, PS3_Moderate, PP3.

Genes affected

SGCB (HGNC:10806): (sarcoglycan beta) This gene encodes a member of the sarcoglycan family. Sarcoglycans are transmembrane components in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which help stabilize the muscle fiber membranes and link the muscle cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in this gene have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

A known missense variant, c.271C>T in exon 3 of SGCB was identified in a compound heterozygous state in the proband. The known missense variant, c.271C>T was found in a heterozygous state in the father (Cagliani, R., et al., 2001). It is identified in 19 heterozygous individuals and no homozygous individuals in gnomAD v4.1.0. This variant is also seen in five individuals within our in-house database of 3557 exomes. It is classified as pathogenic in the ClinVar database (ClinVar ID: VCV000499193.23) and is associated with autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 91 of the SGCB protein (p.Arg91Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs555514820, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 9565988, 17994539). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 499193). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SGCB protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect SGCB function (PMID: 22095924). This variant disrupts the p.Arg91 amino acid residue in SGCB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with SGCB-related conditions (PMID: 8968749, 9631401), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: SGCB c.271C>T (p.Arg91Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251452 control chromosomes. c.271C>T has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous or homozygous genotype in multiple individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive (example, Duclos_1998, Guglieri_2008, Magri_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function by confocal immunofluorescence analysis of non-permeabilized cells and classifies this variant as a class I - mutation that did not affect the membrane localization of Sarcoglycan B (Soheilli_2012). Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
