Description

In 2 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (CMD1CC; 613121), Hassel et al. (2009) identified heterozygosity for a 1955A-G transition in the NEXN gene, resulting in a tyr652-to-cys (Y652C) substitution at a highly conserved residue. Both probands had a parent who had died of dilated cardiomyopathy; 1 proband underwent heart transplantation at age 60 years due to progressive dilated cardiomyopathy. The 2 Y652C mutation carriers shared a common haplotype that was distinct from the G650del (613121.0001)-associated haplotype, suggesting a distinct founder effect; the mutation was not found in 1,251 age-, gender-, ethnicity- and geography-matched controls. Ultrastructural analysis of myocardial biopsy tissue from a Y652C patient showed disruption of sarcomeric units with detached and blurry Z discs, similar to that seen in NEXN-deficient zebrafish. Ectopic expression of Y652C-mutated nexilin in zebrafish resulted in dilated cardiomyopathy, with markedly reduced systolic function and Z disc disruption. Injection of an equal amount of wildtype nexilin had no effect on cardiac function or ultrastructure, indicating a dominant-negative effect of the mutant nexilin.

Description

The c.1955A>G (p.Tyr652Cys) variant in the exon 13 of NEXN gene has been reported in 3 individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and 1 individual with sudden cardiac death (SCD) and non-diagnostic right ventricular hypertrophy (PMID: 19881492, 24503780, 26383259). This variant is present at a frequency of 22/279940 in the population database gnomAD suggesting that it could exhibit reduced penetrance. Multiple lines of in silico algorithms have predicted the p.Tyr652Cys change to be deleterious. Functional studies showed that expression of this variant in zebrafish destabilizes cardiac Z-disks and leads to a DCM phenotype (PMID: 19881492). Therefore, this c.1955A>G (p.Tyr652Cys) in the NEXN gene is classified as likely pathogenic with possible reduced penetrance.

Description

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3B. Following criteria are met: 0105 - The mechanism of disease for this gene is not clearly established. However, functional studies have suggested both dominant negative or loss of function mechanisms (PMID: 19881492, PMID: 20970104, PMID: 32814711). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from tyrosine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2, v3) <0.001 for a dominant condition (33 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated immunoglobulin I-set domain (DECIPHER). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity for this variant are conflicting. This variant has been reported as both a VUS, and as likely pathogenic, and observed in at least 10 individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), sudden cardiac death or pancardiomyopathy (ClinVar, cardiodb.org, PMID: 24503780, PMID: 26383259, PMID: 31028938). An additional two individuals had causative variants in either the TTN or MYH7 genes (PMID: 29253866, PMID: 29961767). Another two individuals had ascending aortic aneurysm and dissection, or a family history of cardiac disease, but no indication of DCM themselves (PMID: 34363016). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Overexpression of this variant in zebrafish models has proven it causes disruption to sarcomeric units and destabilizes Z-disks (PMID: 19881492). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign
