Genes affected
NEB (HGNC:7720): (nebulin) This gene encodes nebulin, a giant protein component of the cytoskeletal matrix that coexists with the thick and thin filaments within the sarcomeres of skeletal muscle. In most vertebrates, nebulin accounts for 3 to 4% of the total myofibrillar protein. The encoded protein contains approximately 30-amino acid long modules that can be classified into 7 types and other repeated modules. Protein isoform sizes vary from 600 to 800 kD due to alternative splicing that is tissue-, species-,and developmental stage-specific. Of the 183 exons in the nebulin gene, at least 43 are alternatively spliced, although exons 143 and 144 are not found in the same transcript. Of the several thousand transcript variants predicted for nebulin, the RefSeq Project has decided to create three representative RefSeq records. Mutations in this gene are associated with recessive nemaline myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Nemaline myopathy 2 Pathogenic:2
Feb 24, 2022
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg6887*) in the NEB gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NEB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25205138). This variant is present in population databases (rs749452641, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with nemaline myopathy (PMID: 25205138). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557888). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

The c.15556C>T (p.R5186*) alteration, located in exon 109 (coding exon 107) of the NEB gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 15556. This changes the amino acid from an arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 5186. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (2/279302) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.005% (1/19474) of East Asian alleles. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Nemaline myopathy Pathogenic:1
Jan 14, 2019
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: NEB c.20659C>T (p.Arg6887X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.21076C>T (p.Arg7026X), c.24407_24410dupTGTT (p.Leu8137fsX18), c.24559C>T (p.Arg8187X)). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.2e-06 in 275868 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.20659C>T has been reported in the literature in a family affected with Nemaline Myopathy 2 (Lehtokari 2014). 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, and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
