GeneDx	RCV000057488	SCV000513494	uncertain significance	not provided	2023-04-04	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Reported in a dataset of LMNA variants identified in individuals with cardiomyopathy as reported in ClinVar and/or by a clinical laboratory, or observed as rare variants in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (Ito et al., 2017); In silico analysis suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32376792, 18796515, 28679633)
Invitae	RCV000530832	SCV000657827	uncertain significance	Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2	2024-01-11	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change falls in intron 5 of the LMNA gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LMNA protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs267607681, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of LMNA-related conditions (PMID: 22464770, 28679633, 32376792). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 66959). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	RCV000772012	SCV000904968	uncertain significance	Cardiomyopathy	2023-04-20	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This variant causes a C to G nucleotide substitution at the -7 position of intron 5 of the LMNA gene. Splice site prediction tools are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on RNA splicing. An in vitro mini-gene assay has shown that this variant may cause skipping of exon 6 (PMID: 28679633). This variant has been reported in an individual suspected to be affected with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 32376792). This variant has been identified in 10/277870 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000440584	SCV002766546	uncertain significance	not specified	2022-11-14	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: LMNA c.937-7C>G alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens a canonical 3' acceptor site, whereas one predicts the variant has no significant impact on splicing. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing, impacting approximately 55% of all transcripts, with 45% exhibiting normal splicing (e.g. Ito_2017). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 277870 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in LMNA causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy (3.6e-05 vs 0.0001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.937-7C>G has been reported in the literature in a setting of multi-gene panel testing as a VUS in one individual affected with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (e.g. Lakdawala_2012). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Two classified the variant as VUS and one as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

The following are preliminary notes: This is an intronic variant. It is not predicted to affect splicing but an in vitro study shows that the variant has an effect on splicing (Ito 2017). Clinvar: LB (GeneDx), VUS (Invitae). Gnomad: 0.012% (4 alleles).
