dbSNP rs766433603: DYSF:c.1276+5G>A (chr2-71526351-G-A) – ACMG Classification: Pathogenic (15 pts)

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.

Genes affected

DYSF (HGNC:3097): (dysferlin) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ferlin family and is a skeletal muscle protein found associated with the sarcolemma. It is involved in muscle contraction and contains C2 domains that play a role in calcium-mediated membrane fusion events, suggesting that it may be involved in membrane regeneration and repair. In addition, the protein encoded by this gene binds caveolin-3, a skeletal muscle membrane protein which is important in the formation of caveolae. Specific mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) as well as Miyoshi myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
