RCV001031758 | SCV001195064 | likely pathogenic | Duchenne muscular dystrophy | 2021-08-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant results in a copy number gain of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 19 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 out-of-frame, and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DMD are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16770791, 25007885). A similar copy number variant has been observed in individual(s) with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (PMID: 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. |
