ClinVar

Description

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Cys3313 amino acid residue in DMD. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12632325, Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individual(s) with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (PMID: 31705731). This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 68-79 of the DMD gene. The 5' boundary is likely confined to intron 67. The 3' end of this event is unknown as it extends through the termination codon beyond the assayed region for this gene and may encompass additional genes. While this deletion is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated protein product or disrupt mRNA translation.
