Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPM3_StrongPP4_StrongPVS1_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000232.5: c.85A>T p.(Arg29Ter) variant in SGCB is a nonsense variant that may cause loss of function of the protein. However, the premature stop encoded by this variant occurs within the first 100 base pairs, and the resulting transcript may escape nonsense mediated decay. The next in-frame methionine is at amino acid 100, and non-truncating variants upstream of this alternative start site are classified as likely pathogenic or pathogenic (c.265G>A p.(Val89Met), c.271C>T p.(Arg91Cys)) (PVS1_Moderate). This variant has been detected in at least five individuals with signs of limb girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID:11369190, 17994539, 25862795), including confirmed in trans with a likely pathogenic or pathogenic variant (c.377_384dup p.(Gly128GlnfsTer2), 1.0 pt; c.271C>T p.(Arg91Cys), 1.0 pt; PMID:17994539, 25862795, 11369190) (PM3_Strong). At least one patient with this variant showed progressive limb girdle muscle weakness and absent or severely reduced expression of β-sarcoglycan protein in skeletal muscle, which is highly specific for SGCB-related LGMD (PP4_Strong; PMID:25862795). The highest minor allele frequency of this variant is 0.00001758 in the European (non-Finnish) population in gnomAD v2.1.1 (2/113756 exome chromosomes), which is lower than the LGMD VCEP threshold (<0.00009) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). 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; 01/09/2025): PVS1_Moderate, PM3_Strong, PP4_Strong, PM2_Supporting.

Genes affected
SGCB (HGNC:10806): (sarcoglycan beta) This gene encodes a member of the sarcoglycan family. Sarcoglycans are transmembrane components in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which help stabilize the muscle fiber membranes and link the muscle cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in this gene have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

The NM_000232.5: c.85A>T p.(Arg29Ter) variant in SGCB is a nonsense variant that may cause loss of function of the protein. However, the premature stop encoded by this variant occurs within the first 100 base pairs, and the resulting transcript may escape nonsense mediated decay. The next in-frame methionine is at amino acid 100, and non-truncating variants upstream of this alternative start site are classified as likely pathogenic or pathogenic (c.265G>A p.(Val89Met), c.271C>T p.(Arg91Cys)) (PVS1_Moderate). This variant has been detected in at least five individuals with signs of limb girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 11369190, 17994539, 25862795), including confirmed in trans with a likely pathogenic or pathogenic variant (c.377_384dup p.(Gly128GlnfsTer2), 1.0 pt; c.271C>T p.(Arg91Cys), 1.0 pt; PMID: 17994539, 25862795, 11369190) (PM3_Strong). At least one patient with this variant showed progressive limb girdle muscle weakness and absent or severely reduced expression of β-sarcoglycan protein in skeletal muscle, which is highly specific for SGCB-related LGMD (PP4_Strong; PMID: 25862795). The highest minor allele frequency of this variant is 0.00001758 in the European (non-Finnish) population in gnomAD v2.1.1 (2/113756 exome chromosomes), which is lower than the LGMD VCEP threshold (<0.00009) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). 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; 01/09/2025): PVS1_Moderate, PM3_Strong, PP4_Strong, PM2_Supporting. -
