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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. No scorers claiming Uncertain. Scorers claiming Benign: max_spliceai.
• PP5: Variant 15-42392720-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-42392720-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 497182.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr15-42392720-G-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Apr 24, 2018	The E343X variant in the CAPN3 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The E343X variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret E343X as a pathogenic variant. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu343*) in the CAPN3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CAPN3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10330340, 15689361). This variant is present in population databases (rs766334893, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CAPN3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 497182). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
