Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard RCV001004860 SCV001164338 likely pathogenic Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A 2023-02-08 criteria provided, single submitter research The homozygous c.946-29del variant in CAPN3 was identified by our study in three affected siblings with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (PMID: 31498126). This variant was absent from large population studies. RT-PCR and cDNA analysis from patient muscle tissue showed that this variant resulted in altered splicing of exon 7, with splicing occurring upstream of the normal site, resulting in inclusion of a 389bp exon extension in intron 6, leading to a premature stop codon in the resultant mRNA transcript. In addition, Western blot of muscle tissue from the patient showed complete absence of calpain 3 protein, supporting nonsense-mediated decay had occurred (PMID: 31498126). This variant is located in the 3’ splice region. Computational tools do suggest an impact to splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The phenotype of this individual was highly specific for autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A based on the absence of calpain-3 on immunoblot analysis of muscle tissue (PMID: 31498126) consistent with disease (PMID: 20301490). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS3_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PP1, PP4 (Richards 2015).
