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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-105604298-C-CT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-105604298-C-CT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3205.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser152Phefs*6) in the FKTN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FKTN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17044012, 17878207, 18752264). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Walker-Warburg syndrome (PMID: 12601708). It is also known as nt504(insT). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3205). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
