Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_170707.4(LMNA):c.777T>A(p.Tyr259*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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. Y259Y) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

The Y259X variant in the LMNA gene has been reported in association with limb gridle muscular dystrophy and cardiomyopathy (Muchir et al., 2003; van Tintelen et al., 2007; van Spaendonck-Zwarts et al., 2013). Y259X was first reported in the homozygous state in a newborn who died at birth and in the heterozygous state in his maternal grandmother who had a diagnosis of limb girdle muscular dystrophy and bradycardia (Muchir et al., 2003) Y259X was subsequently identified in a female with a first-degree AV block and supraventricular tachycardias who was found to be related to the family reported by Muchir et al. (van Tintelen et al., 2007). Of 10 patients from this family, 5 carried pacemakers, however, a diagnosis of DCM was not mentioned in any of the patients (van Tintelen et al., 2007). Nevertheless, Y259X has been reported in one individual with DCM with possible neuromuscular involvement (van Spaendonck-Zwarts et al., 2013).Functional studies in fibroblast cells showed a reduction in lamin A and C expression when Y259X was in the heterozygous state and a complete absence of expression in the homozygous state (Muchir et al., 2003). A truncated protein product was not observed in any of the fibroblast cells harboring the Y259X variant suggesting haploinsufficiency is the likely disease mechanism (Muchir et al., 2003). In another study, Y259X in the homozygous state was shown to cause nuclear rupture and loss of cellular compartmentalization (De Vos et al., 2011). Additionally, other nonsense variants in the LMNA gene have been reported in HGMD in association with DCM (Stenson P et al., 2014). Furthermore, the Y259X variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Based on currently available evidence, Y259X is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. However, the possibility it is a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. -

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr259*) in the LMNA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LMNA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18585512, 18926329). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1B (PMID: 15668447). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14511). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
