Description
This variant is present in population databases (rs745882222, gnomAD 0.03%). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 321 of the FKRP protein (p.Ala321Glu). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 16143867, 20961759). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FKRP function (PMID: 31268217). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FKRP protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 930906).
