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]

ACMG classification

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

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.01509434 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-71669208-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-71669208-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 167030.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:1

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: DYSF c.5525+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a canonical 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 228924 control chromosomes. c.5525+1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and Miyoshi myopathy (Cacciottolo_2011, Walter_2013), with one family reported as compound heterozygous, carrying a second (likely) pathogenic variant. These data indicate that the variant is likely associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, classifying the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 49, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 21522182). This variant disrupts a region of the DYSF protein in which other variant(s) (p.Asp1837Asn) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11257469, 22194990). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 167030). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 49 of the DYSF gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with DYSF-related conditions (PMID: 21522182). -
