The NM_000070.3: c.1865_1866del p.(Glu622GlyfsTer9) variant in CAPN3 is a frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in exon 16/24, leading to nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss of function is a known disease mechanism (PVS1). This variant has been reported in at least four individuals with features consistent with LGMD (PMID: 16141003, 16650086, 10330340; LOVD CAPN3_000103), including in unconfirmed phase with a pathogenic variant in one patient (c.1250C>T p.(Thr417Met), 0.5 pts, PMID: 1665008, LOVD Individual #00214386) (PM3_Supporting). It has also been classified as Likely Pathogenic/Pathogenic by multiple submitters in ClinVar (VCV000935255.33). At least one patient with this variant and a second presumed diagnostic CAPN3 variant displayed severely reduced calpain-3 expression in skeletal muscle as well as progressive limb girdle muscle weakness, which is specific for CAPN3-related LGMD (PMID: 16650086, LOVD Individual #00214386; PP4_Moderate). The filtering allele frequency for this variant is 0.000007 in gnomAD v4.1.0 exomes (the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval of 3/1111832 European (non-Finnish) chromosomes), which is lower than the LGMD VCEP threshold for PM2_Supporting (0.0001), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LGMD VCEP (LGMD VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; 08/19/2025): PVS1, PM3_Supporting, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting.
