Genes affected

SGCG (HGNC:10809): (sarcoglycan gamma) This gene encodes gamma-sarcoglycan, one of several sarcolemmal transmembrane glycoproteins that interact with dystrophin. The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) spans the sarcolemma and is comprised of dystrophin, syntrophin, alpha- and beta-dystroglycans and sarcoglycans. The DGC provides a structural link between the subsarcolemmal cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix of muscle cells. Defects in the encoded protein can lead to early onset autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy, in particular limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C (LGMD2C). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.22146119 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 8.7, offset of 16, new splice context is: ctgGTaagc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-23203888-CAGTA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-23203888-CAGTA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 208611.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr13-23203888-CAGTA-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C Pathogenic:8

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Fulgent Genetics, Fulgent Genetics	Oct 08, 2021	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 09, 2023	This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the SGCG gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the SGCG protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs758531560, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 11801399, 17897828, 19770540). This variant is also known as c.195+2_5del. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208611). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in a 16-bp intronic insertion and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 11801399). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Dec 30, 2014	The c.195+4_195+7del variant in SGCG has been reported in 1 homozygous and 2 compound heterozygous individuals with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C (LGMD2C; Bonnemann 2002). This variant has also been identified in 1/8254 of European American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant is a deletion of 4 nucleotides in the 5' splice region and in vitro functional assays suggest that this variant leads to altered splicing and the inclusion of an additional 16 nucleotides (Bonnemann 2002), which is predicted to lead to an abnormal or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for LGMD2C in an autosomal recessive manner (http://pcpgmwww.partners.org/personalizedmedicince/LMM ). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Apr 23, 2021	The SGCG c.195+4_195+7delAGTA variant (rs797045106), also published as del 4-bp intron 2 or 195+2_5del, is reported in the literature in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy or a sarcoglycanopathy (Bonnemann 2002, Khadilkar 2009, Reddy 2017). This variant is found on only three chromosomes (3/282718 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This is an intronic variant in that deletes four conserved nucleotides, and computational analyses (Alamut v.2.11) predict that this variant may impact splicing by weakening the nearby canonical donor splice site. Consistent with these predictions, RNA studies of patients with this variant demonstrate use of cryptic splice donor site downstream, resulting in a 16 nucleotide insertion that leads to a frameshift (Bonnemann 2002). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.
