Genes affected
CAPN3 (HGNC:1480): (calpain 3) Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 124 of the CAPN3 protein (p.Gly124Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs587780291, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of CAPN3-related conditions (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128571). 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 expected to disrupt CAPN3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. The frequency of this variant in the general population is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) Computational tools predict that this variant is damaging. -

The c.371G>C (p.G124A) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the CAPN3 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 371, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 124 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
