Genes affected
VCL (HGNC:12665): (vinculin) Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineApr 10, 2016The p.Ala573HisfsX8 variant in VCL has not been previously reported in individua ls with cardiomyopathy though it was identified in 3/121052 of chromosomes by th e Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). This vari ant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid se quence beginning at position 573 and leads to a premature termination codon 8 am ino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated o r absent protein. Current evidence suggests that loss of function of the VCL gen e is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This understanding is based u pon approximately 10 patients with infantile- or childhood- onset DCM that were identified with loss-of-function variants in VCL that also segregated with disea se in five additional family members (LMM, unpublished data). Mouse models have also shown that loss of function of the VCL gene leads to cardiac dysfunction, i ncluding dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (Zemljic-Harpf 2007). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, t he p.Ala573HisfsX8 variant is likely pathogenic for dilated cardiomyopathy in an autosomal dominant manner. Data from six families tested in our laboratory sugg est over 50% penetrance of the disease in individuals with a loss-of-function va riant. -
Dilated cardiomyopathy 1W Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 30, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala573Hisfs*8) in the VCL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in VCL cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs779488376, gnomAD 0.07%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of VCL-related conditions (PMID: 32516855). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 468811). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
