Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard RCV002810024 SCV003761226 pathogenic Myopathy, centronuclear, 5 2023-01-25 criteria provided, single submitter curation The homozygous p.Arg2958Ter variant in SPEG was identified by our study in one individual with congenital myopathy. The p.Arg2958Ter variant in SPEG has been reported in two siblings with congenital myopathy and segregated with disease in these two affected relatives from this one family (PMID: 34742623), but has been identified in 0.003% (1/29644) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Consortium (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs764429761). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 2958, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the SPEG gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy 5. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy 5. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting (Richards 2015).
