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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.03163017 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.8, offset of 31, new splice context is: cagGTgctt. 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 15-42409381-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-42409381-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2736184.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product impact (PMID: 18563459, 20635405). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 17 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 18563459, 32140910). -
