GeneDx RCV001007967 SCV001167695 pathogenic not provided 2019-02-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The R2319X variant in the PLEC gene has been reported previously in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) with muscular dystrophy (EBS-MD) and also in one patient with EBS-MD and myasthenic syndrome (Takahashi et al., 2005; Yin et al., 2015; Vahidnezhad et al., 2017; Selcen et al., 2011). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The R2319X variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret R2319X as a pathogenic variant.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001387924 SCV001588681 pathogenic Epidermolysis bullosa simplex 5B, with muscular dystrophy; Epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Ogna type; Epidermolysis bullosa simplex 5C, with pyloric atresia; Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2Q; Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with nail dystrophy 2022-05-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2319*) in the PLEC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PLEC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20301336, 20447487, 21109228, 23289980, 28824526). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30174). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy (PMID: 15659326, 28830826). This variant is present in population databases (rs387906802, gnomAD 0.007%).
