Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PP3PP4PM5_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000023.4: c.661C>T variant in SGCA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by cysteine at amino acid 221 (p.Arg221Cys). This variant has been identified in at least five individuals with clinical signs of limb girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID:35416532, 28403181, 30564623; LOVD SGCA_000169) (PP4). The highest minor allele frequency of this variant is 0.0002940 (9/30612 exome chromosomes) in the South Asian population of gnomAD v2.1.1, which is greater than the ClinGen LGMD VCEP threshold (0.00009) for PM2_Supporting (criterion not met). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.787, which is above the VCEP threshold of ≥0.70, evidence that correlates with impact to SGCA function (PP3). In addition, another missense variant at the same codon, c.662G>C (p.Arg221Pro), has been classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy by the LGMD VCEP (PM5_Supporting). In summary, this variant cannot be classified as pathogenic nor benign at this time and remains a variant of uncertain significance 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; 01/07/2025): PP4, PP3, PM5_Supporting.

Genes affected

SGCA (HGNC:10805): (sarcoglycan alpha) This gene encodes a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which is critical to the stability of muscle fiber membranes and to the linking of the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Its expression is thought to be restricted to striated muscle. Mutations in this gene result in type 2D autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
