Description
A Homozygote Inframe indel variant c.36_38delAAG in Exon 2 of the PLN gene that results in the amino acid substitution p.Arg13del was identified. The observed variant has a minor allele frequency of 0.00000/0.00003% in gnomAD exomes and genomes, respectively. The severity of the impact of this variant on the protein is medium, based on the effect of the protein and REVEL score. Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) is an ensembl method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP++, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. The REVEL score for an individual missense variant can range from 0 to 1, with higher scores reflecting greater likelihood that the variant is disease-causing. ClinVar has also classified this variant as Pathogenic (Variant ID: 44580),.The observed variant has previously been reported in the patient affected with cardiomyopathy (Haghighi K et.al 2006). Based on the above evidence this variant has been classified as Pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines.
