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]

Submissions by phenotype

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 27, 2015The p.Pro943fs variant in VCL has not been previously reported in individuals wi th cardiomyopathy, but has been identified in 5/10406 of African chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs 781036800). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the pr otein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 943 and leads to a premature t ermination codon 9 amino acids downstream. Mouse models have shown that loss of function of the VCL gene can lead to DCM (Zemljic-Harpf 2007), although the mode of inheritance associated with such variants in humans is not yet clear. In sum mary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical s ignificance, the p.Pro943fs variant is likely pathogenic. -
Dilated cardiomyopathy 1W Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 26, 2022This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro943Argfs*9) 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 (rs781036800, gnomAD 0.04%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with VCL-related conditions (PMID: 26735901, 32516855). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 202163). 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. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 11, 2022Has been reported as a variant of uncertain significance in individuals with DCM (Ware et al., 2016; Hawley et al., 202; Burstein et al., 2021); Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene or region of a gene for which loss of function is not a well-established mechanism of disease; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34426522, 33874732, 32746448, 32516855, 26735901) -
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 15 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCenter of Genomic medicine, Geneva, University Hospital of GenevaNov 29, 2016- -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 02, 2022The c.2828_2829delCT variant, located in coding exon 19 of the VCL gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2828 to 2829, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P943Rfs*9). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, this alteration impacts only one of the two main VCL isoforms (the metavinculin isoform), and loss of function of the metavinculin isoform has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Furthermore, the evidence for this gene-disease relationship is limited; therefore, the clinical significance of this alteration is unclear. -
