Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PP1 PM2_Supporting PM3_Strong PVS1 PP4_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_003494.4: c.4497del p.(Phe1499LeufsTer4) variant in DYSF, which is also known as NM_001130987.2: c.4614del p.(Phe1538LeufsTer4), is a frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically relevant exon 41/55 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss of function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). In the literature, this variant has also been described as c.4870delT. This variant has been detected in at least eight unrelated individuals with limb girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID:23243261, 12796534, 17070050, 27647186, 26088049, 17614318). Among these individuals, it was identified in a homozygous state in three patients (1.0 pts, PMID:26088049, 17614318, 12796534) and in trans with a pathogenic variant in at least one patient (c.2643+1G>A, 1.0 pt, PMID:23243261) (PM3_Strong). At least one patient with this variant displayed progressive limb-girdle muscle weakness and absent dysferlin protein expression, which is highly specific for DYSF-associated LGMD (PP4_Strong, PMID:27647186, 17070050). The variant was also reported to co-segregate with the disease in three affected family members from one family (PMID:17614318) (PP1, capped with PP4_Strong). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LGMD VCEP (LGMD VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; 01/08/2025): PVS1, PM3_Strong, PP4_Strong, PP1, PM2_Supporting.

Genes affected

DYSF (HGNC:3097): (dysferlin) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ferlin family and is a skeletal muscle protein found associated with the sarcolemma. It is involved in muscle contraction and contains C2 domains that play a role in calcium-mediated membrane fusion events, suggesting that it may be involved in membrane regeneration and repair. In addition, the protein encoded by this gene binds caveolin-3, a skeletal muscle membrane protein which is important in the formation of caveolae. Specific mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) as well as Miyoshi myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
