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:4
Jun 17, 2023
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 18 of the CAPN3 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CAPN3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10330340, 15689361). This variant is present in population databases (rs768374736, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 11525884, 26632398, 26677118). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553754). 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. -

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

This variant lies in the essential splice donor site, in intron 18 of the CAPN3 gene. In silico splice prediction tools (ASSP and NNSPLICE) suggest that this variant might affect splicing due to the loss of constitutive splice site and introduction of a new splice site, which in turn might lead to a frameshift and consequent premature termination of the protein; this will likely result in loss-of-function.It was previously reported in the compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy [PMID: 11525884, 26632398, 26677118]. -

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

Variant summary: CAPN3 c.2050+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes the canonical 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251028 control chromosomes. c.2050+1G>A has been reported in the literature in at-least two individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Autosomal Recessive (example, Chae_2001). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11525884). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553754). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
