Genes affected
CAPN3 (HGNC:1480): (calpain 3) Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A Pathogenic:3
Nov 28, 2021
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in disruption of mRNA splicing and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 27081656). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551370). This variant is also known as IVS19+1 ins GT, c.2115insGT. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 15689361, 17562833, 27081656, 31127727). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs760919949, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change falls in intron 19 of the CAPN3 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CAPN3 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
