Congenital Myopathies VCEP
The variant NM_001100.4:c.442G>C in ACTA1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of glycine by arginine at amino acid 148 (p.Gly148Arg). The variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1.0 (PM2_Supporting). The REVEL computational prediction analysis tool produced a score of 0.979, which is above the threshold necessary to apply PP3. ACTA1, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the ClinGen Congenital Myopathies VCEP as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). Two different missense variants, p.Gly148Ser and p.Gly148Val (Variation IDs: 1364817 and 2582809), in the same codon have been classified as likely pathogenic for alpha-actinopathy by the ClinGen Congenital Myopathies VCEP (PM5 applied to p.Gly148Val). This variant has been reported in 2 probands with alpha-actinopathy, and one of these probands had a de novo occurrence of the variant with parental relationships confirmed (PS4_Supporting, PS2; PMID: 33820833. SCV000330673.6). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for AD alpha-actinopathy. ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the Congenital Myopathies VCEP (Specification Version 2.0.0): PM2_Supporting, PP3, PP2, PS4_Supporting, PS2 (ClinGen Congenital Myopathies VCEP specifications version 2.0.0; 3/10/2025).
Met criteria codes
PS2
GeneDx reported this variant as de novo via trio testing and sequencing data was suggestive of mosaicism as the variant allele was underrepresented.
PP3
The REVEL computational prediction analysis tool produced a score of 0.935, which is above the threshold necessary to apply PP3
PP2
Although the variant is not documented in the literature, other variants resulting in different amino acid changes in the same codon have been described as autosomal dominant as are 90% of ACTA1 variants so this variant is assumed to potentially be autosomal dominant and thus be constrained for missense variants.
PS4_Supporting
This variant has been reported in 2 probands with alpha-actinopathy (PMID: 33820833, GeneDx internal data)
PM2_Supporting
Variant is absent from controls
Not Met criteria codes
PS3
No functional data
PP4
Probands either did not have muscle biopsies performed or did not show characteristic pathology.
