RCV003640017 | SCV004432687 | pathogenic | X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy | 2023-02-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 4 of the EMD gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in EMD are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24365856). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (PMID: 9536090). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
