Genes affected
LDB3 (HGNC:15710): (LIM domain binding 3) This gene encodes a PDZ domain-containing protein. PDZ motifs are modular protein-protein interaction domains consisting of 80-120 amino acid residues. PDZ domain-containing proteins interact with each other in cytoskeletal assembly or with other proteins involved in targeting and clustering of membrane proteins. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with alpha-actinin-2 through its N-terminal PDZ domain and with protein kinase C via its C-terminal LIM domains. The LIM domain is a cysteine-rich motif defined by 50-60 amino acids containing two zinc-binding modules. This protein also interacts with all three members of the myozenin family. Mutations in this gene have been associated with myofibrillar myopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified; all isoforms have N-terminal PDZ domains while only longer isoforms (1, 2 and 5) have C-terminal LIM domains.

The Ala722Thr variant in LDB3 has not been previously reported in individuals wi th cardiomyopathy and was absent from large population studies. Computational pr ediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or ag ainst an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the Ala 722Thr variant is uncertain. -

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

Variant summary: LDB3 c.2164G>A (p.Ala722Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250092 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2164G>A in individuals affected with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179788). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

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

The LDB3 gene has multiple clinically relevant transcripts. This variant occurs in alternate transcript NM_007078.3, and corresponds to NM_001080116.1:c.*33582G>A in the primary transcript. This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 722 of the LDB3 protein (p.Ala722Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs727505129, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LDB3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179788). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

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

The c.2164G>A (p.A722T) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 13) of the LDB3 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2164, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 722 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
