GeneDx RCV000386470 SCV000329194 pathogenic not provided 2018-01-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The D780H missense variant in the CAPN3 gene has been reported previously as a founder mutation in the Agarwal Eastern Indian population in individuals with LGMD2A (Ankala, et al., 2013; Todorova et al., 2005). In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support a deleterious effect. Additionally, missense variants in nearby residues have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (Stenson et al., 2014). The D780H variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Therefore, we interpret D780H as a pathogenic variant.

Invitae RCV000176251 SCV000766714 pathogenic Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A 2023-12-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 780 of the CAPN3 protein (p.Asp780His). This variant is present in population databases (rs778768583, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 15733273, 23666804, 25079074, 27011640). It is commonly reported in individuals of Agarwal North Indian ancestry (PMID: 15733273, 23666804, 25079074, 27011640). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 195641). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on CAPN3 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard RCV000176251 SCV001164527 pathogenic Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A 2018-12-03 criteria provided, single submitter research The heterozygous p.Asp780His variant in CAPN3 was identified by our study in the compound heterozygous state, with another pathogenic variant, in one individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). This variant has been identified in 0.0008124% (2/246172) of chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs778768583). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The variant is located in the well-established functional domain EF-hand 4, a domain involved in protein homodimerization (PMID: 24846670). In vitro functional studies with muscle biopsies provide some evidence that the p.Asp780His variant may impact protein function by reducing translation and autolytic activity (PMID: 25079074). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. The p.Asp780His variant in CAPN3 has been reported in 7 Indian Agarwal individuals with LGMD and is a known founder mutation in the Indian Agarwal community (PMID: 23666804). The presence of this variant in combination with a pathogenic variant by our study as well as a splice site variant in 5 individuals with LGMD increases the likelihood that the p.Asp780His variant is pathogenic (PMID: 23666804). This variant has also been reported pathogenic and likely pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 195641). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for LGMD in an autosomal recessive manner based on its location in a well-established functional domain and multiple occurrences with other CAPN3 variants. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PP3, PM1, PS3_Supporting, PM3_Strong (Richards 2015).

Neuberg Supratech Reference Laboratories Pvt Ltd, Neuberg Centre for Genomic Medicine RCV000176251 SCV002073079 pathogenic Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The missense variant NM_000070.3(CAPN3):c.2338G>C (p.Asp780His) has been previously reported as an Aggarwal Founder mutation for Calpainopathy (Ankala et al; Khadilkar et al). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change results in reduced protein expression and autolytic activity in muscle biopsy samples (Nilsson MI et al). It has been classified as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in the ClinVar database. The p.Asp780His variant is observed in 1/30,616 (0.0033%) alleles from individuals of gnomAD South Asian background in gnomAD and is novel in the 1000 Genomes. There is a moderate physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and histidine. The p.Asp780His missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The aspartic acid residue at codon 780 of CAPN3 is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.2338 in CAPN3 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
