Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPM3PP4_StrongPVS1
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_003494.4: c.1180+5G>A variant in DYSF, which is also known as NM_001130987.2: c.1276+5G>A, occurs within the splice donor region of intron 12 and has a SpliceAI score of 0.87 for donor loss and 0.44 for gain of an alternative donor. RNAseq analysis has demonstrated abnormal splicing due to this variant, which resulted in either an insertion of 28bp or a deletion of 28bp. Both events led to a frameshift and premature truncation: p.(Met394SerfsTer27) and p.(Val385TrpfsTer5) (PMID:36983702; PVS1_RNA). This variant has been reported in at least nine individuals with dysferlinopathy (PMID:18853459, 25574751, 27647186, 28403181, 32400077, 36983702), including in unknown phase with a pathogenic variant in at least two patients (c.3112C>T p.(Arg1038Ter), 0.5 pts, PMID:36983702; c.6124C>T p.(Arg2042Cys), 0.5 pts, PMID:25574751) and in a homozygous state in one individual (0.5 pts, PMID:27647186, 28403181) (PM3). At least one patient with this variant displayed progressive muscle weakness and reduced or absent dysferlin protein expression, which is highly specific for DYSF-related LGMD (PMID:18853459, 25574751, 28403181, 36983702; PP4_Strong). The filtering allele frequency of this variant is 0.000028265 (the upper threshold of the 95% CI of 22/1111436 European (non-Finnish) exome chromosomes) in gnomAD v4.1.0, which is less than the ClinGen LGMD VCEP threshold (≤0.0001) (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; 04/03/2025): PVS1_RNA, PM3, PP4_Strong, PM2_Supporting.

DYSF-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The DYSF c.1180+5G>A variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant has been reported along with a second DYSF variant in individuals with limb girdle muscular dystrophy (see for examples Krahn et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 18853459; Szymanska et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25574751; Pronicka et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27290639; Table S1, Charnay et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33927379). This variant is reported in 0.00090% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant has been listed as pathogenic or likely pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/289571/). Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
Neuromuscular disease caused by qualitative or quantitative defects of dysferlin Pathogenic:1
This sequence change falls in intron 12 of the DYSF gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the DYSF protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with distal myopathy or limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 18853459, 25574751, 27290639, 27647186). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 289571). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). 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. -
