Genes affected

VCL (HGNC:12665): (vinculin) Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.5, offset of 5, new splice context is: tttctcttggtccgggtcAGgct. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 10-74095654-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr10-74095654-A-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 166546.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The 1544-2A>G variant in VCL has been identified by our laboratory in 1 individu al with DCM. It was absent from large population studies. This variant occurs i n the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predict ed to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Mouse mod els have shown that loss of function of the VCL gene can lead to DCM (Zemljic-Ha rpf 2007). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establi sh its clinical significance, the predicted impact of the 1544-2A>G variant supp ort that it is likely pathogenic although the mode of inheritance is currently u nknown. -
