Description
This sequence change is predicted to replace alanine with threonine at codon 147 of the LDB3 protein (p.(Ala147Thr), also known as NM_007078.2:c.690-4733G>A). The alanine residue is evolutionarily conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located in the striated muscle ZASP-like motif in exon 6 of the skeletal muscle isoform (PMID: 28349680). There is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and threonine. The variant is absent in a large population cohort (gnomAD v2.1 and v3.1). It has been identified in multiple individuals with myofibrillar myopathy, including variable cardiac and neuropathic involvement, and segregates with disease in at least one large family (PMID: 15668942, 18765652, 21676617, 23263837, 32721234). The variant demonstrates isoform-specific disruption of skeletal muscle actin filaments in functional assays (PMID: 24668811). Multiple lines of computational evidence have conflicting predictions for the missense substitution (3/4 algorithms predict benign). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.4.0, this variant is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PS4_Moderate, PP1_Moderate, PS3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting.
