Genes affected

ACTN2 (HGNC:164): (actinin alpha 2) Alpha actinins belong to the spectrin gene superfamily which represents a diverse group of cytoskeletal proteins, including the alpha and beta spectrins and dystrophins. Alpha actinin is an actin-binding protein with multiple roles in different cell types. In nonmuscle cells, the cytoskeletal isoform is found along microfilament bundles and adherens-type junctions, where it is involved in binding actin to the membrane. In contrast, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle isoforms are localized to the Z-disc and analogous dense bodies, where they help anchor the myofibrillar actin filaments. This gene encodes a muscle-specific, alpha actinin isoform that is expressed in both skeletal and cardiac muscles. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

The c.1839+5G>C variant in ACTN2 has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy or in large population studies. This variant is located in the 5' splice region. Computational tools do suggest some impact to splicing. Ho wever, this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Whi le variants in ACTN2 are associated with HCM (Chiu 2010), it remains unclear if heterozygous loss of function variants in this gene would have a role in the eti ology of HCM as all reported pathogenic variants have been missense changes. In summary, the clinical significance of the 1839+5G>C variant is uncertain. -
