Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV004018271 SCV004847320 likely pathogenic Congenital myopathy 2023-08-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Leu30GlyfsX79 variant in STAC3 has not been previously reported in individuals with STAC3-associated myopathy but has been identified in 0.002% (1/41416) of African chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.3.1.2). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 30 and leads to a premature termination codon 79 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function truncating variants in the STAC3 gene have been reported in individuals with STAC3 disorder (Telegrafi 2017 PMID: 28777491, Grzybowski 2017 PMID: 28411587). Additionally, knock out mouse models displayed skeletal muscle abnormalities similar to those observed in human myopathies (Reinholt 2013, PMID: 23626854). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive STAC3 disorder. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_Supporting.
