RCV000708160 | SCV000837270 | likely pathogenic | Duchenne muscular dystrophy | 2023-08-10 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant results in a copy number gain of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 5 of the DMD gene. While the exact position of this variant cannot be determined from the data, sub-genic copy number gains are generally in tandem (PMID: 25640679). This variant is predicted to be in-frame, and likely preserves the integrity of the reading frame. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individuals with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (PMID: 16770791, 16917894, 17259292). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
