The NM_000232.5: c.265G>A variant in SGCB is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of valine by methionine at amino acid 89 (p.Val89Met). This variant has been detected in at least four individuals with symptoms of limb girdle muscular dystrophy. Of those individuals, one was compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic variant (c.391C>T p.(Arg131Ter), 1 pt, ClinVar SCV000748307.5 internal data communication), and three patients were homozygous for the variant (1 pt, PMID: 28889091, 30838351, 29797799) (PM3_Strong). At least one of these patients displayed progressive limb girdle muscle weakness (PP4). This variant was also shown to co-segregate with autosomal recessive LGMD in one affected family member (PMID: 28889091; PP1). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00003 in the Admixed American population (1/34588 exome alleles), which is lower than the LGMD VCEP threshold (<0.00009) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.932, which is above the threshold of 0.7, evidence that correlates with impact to SGCB function (PP3). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely 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; 01/08/2025): PM3_Strong, PP4, PM2_Supporting, PP3, PP1.
