Invitae | RCV001031681 | SCV001194987 | pathogenic | Duchenne muscular dystrophy | 2019-07-15 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon 1 of the DMD gene, which includes the initiator codon. The 5' end of this event is unknown as it extends beyond the assayed region for this gene and therefore may encompass additional genes. The 3' boundary is likely confined to intron 1 of the DMD gene. This is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Deletions involving the promoter and exon 1 have been reported in individuals affected with DMD-related muscular dystrophy (PMID: 18752307, 25076844, 26718981) and in a family affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 8361506). Loss-of-function variants in DMD are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16770791, 25007885). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
