This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_003494.4: c.2790G>C variant in DYSF, which is also known as NM_001130987.2: c.2844G>C p.(Trp948Cys), is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of tryptophan by cysteine at amino acid 930, p.(Trp930Cys). This variant has been detected in at least three individuals with LGMD (PMID:18853459, 36983702, 27602406), including confirmed in trans with a pathogenic variant (NM_003494.4: c.3832C>T p.(Gln1278Ter), 1.0 pt, PMID:18853459, LOVD Individual #00215573) and in unknown phase with a pathogenic variant (NM_003494.4: c.2643+1G>A, 0.5 pts, PMID:36983702) (PM3). Although both patients were reported to have additional DYSF variants in unknown phase, these other variants could be classified as likely benign. At least one patient with this variant and a second presumed diagnostic DYSF variant displayed progressive weakness and absent dysferlin protein expression, which is highly specific for DYSF-associated LGMD (PP4_Strong, PMID:36983702, 18853459). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1, v3.1.2, and v4.1.0 (PM2_Supporting). Immunofluorescence and 2-A assays of dysferlin membrane localization in HEK293T cells showed the Trp930Cys protein did not reach the cell membrane, indicating an impact on protein function (PMID:35028538) (PS3_Moderate). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.87, which is above the LGMD VCEP threshold of 0.70, evidence that correlates with impact to DYSF 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; 03/06/2025): PM3, PP4_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PS3_Moderate, PP3.

Genes affected
DYSF (HGNC:3097): (dysferlin) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ferlin family and is a skeletal muscle protein found associated with the sarcolemma. It is involved in muscle contraction and contains C2 domains that play a role in calcium-mediated membrane fusion events, suggesting that it may be involved in membrane regeneration and repair. In addition, the protein encoded by this gene binds caveolin-3, a skeletal muscle membrane protein which is important in the formation of caveolae. Specific mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) as well as Miyoshi myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

The NM_003494.4: c.2790G>C variant in DYSF, which is also known as NM_001130987.2: c.2844G>C p.(Trp948Cys), is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of tryptophan by cysteine at amino acid 930, p.(Trp930Cys). This variant has been detected in at least three individuals with LGMD (PMID: 18853459, 36983702, 27602406), including confirmed in trans with a pathogenic variant (NM_003494.4: c.3832C>T p.(Gln1278Ter), 1.0 pt, PMID: 18853459, LOVD Individual #00215573) and in unknown phase with a pathogenic variant (NM_003494.4: c.2643+1G>A, 0.5 pts, PMID: 36983702) (PM3). Although both patients were reported to have additional DYSF variants in unknown phase, these other variants could be classified as likely benign. At least one patient with this variant and a second presumed diagnostic DYSF variant displayed progressive weakness and absent dysferlin protein expression, which is highly specific for DYSF-associated LGMD (PP4_Strong, PMID: 36983702, 18853459). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1, v3.1.2, and v4.1.0 (PM2_Supporting).

The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.87, which is above the LGMD VCEP threshold of 0.70, evidence that correlates with impact to DYSF function (PP3).

Variant summary: DYSF c.2790G>C (p.Trp930Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Dysferlin domain, N-terminal region (IPR006614) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250552 control chromosomes. c.2790G>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and Dysferlinopathy (example, Krahn_2009, Moore_2021, Rufibach_2023, Therrien_2006). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18853459, 33610434, 36983702, 16996541). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 167021). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 930 of the DYSF protein (p.Trp930Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with DYSF-related conditions (PMID: 18853459, 33610434). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 167021). 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 DYSF protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1. This variant has been reported in individuals with a clinical phenotype consistent with dysferlinopathy, associated with disease range dysferlin protein levels, and found in the heterozygous state in conjuction with the pathogeic or likely pathogenic DYSF variants, c.2643+1G>A, c.4024C>T, or c.3832C>T (PMID: 36983702, 18853459). This variant has also been reported to cause reduced dysferlin protein expression and no plasma membrane localization via an in vitro assay (PMID: 35028538). Both the REVEL (0.867) and CADD (25.7) scores support a deleterious effect. The ACMG classification criteria applied are: PM2 moderate, PM3 moderate, PP3, PP4 moderate, and PS3 supporting. Based on the above data, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
