Invitae RCV000630650 SCV000751615 pathogenic Duchenne muscular dystrophy 2022-10-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 3-7 of the DMD gene. This deletion is out-of-frame, and is expected to create a premature termination codon and 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 individuals with Becker muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and intermediate phenotypes (PMID: 1496988, 2063877, 7825572, 8353493, 15723292, 16030524, 16566881, 18752307, 22090376, 22510846, 24099565). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies of muscle biopsies from patients carrying this variant have detected reduced expression of dystrophin of a slightly lower molecular weight than wild-type protein (PMID: 1496988, 2063877, 7825572, 8317478, 8353493). It has been proposed that this expression arises from minor splice-isoforms of DMD that do not include exons 3-7 (PMID: 2261642, 8317478) or from use of an alternative initiator codon in exon 8 (PMID: 1496988, 7825572, 8353493). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
