Congenital myopathy v7.75 TNPO3 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram changed review comment from: PMIDs: 23543484 & 23667635 (2013) reported a large multigenerational Spanish Pedigree with a novel form of autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and they presented with limb-girdle and distal muscle weakness with variable distribution, severity, and rate of progression. A heterozygous single nucleotide deletion in TNPO3 gene (c.2771del) was identified in the family via whole-genome sequencing. Detailed clinical information was provided in PMID:23632945 for 29 patients of the family, where only one patient had onset before 5 years of age.

PMID:23667635 (2013) reported an additional sporadic case of an Italian female patient with young adult-onset LGMD phenotype and proximal weakness and had dystrophic biopsy with mitochondrial abnormalities (ragged-red fibres, COX-negative fibres).This patient was identified with a heterozygous variant in TNPO3 gene (c.2453G>A; p.Arg818Pro).

PMID:31071488 (2019) reported two individuals from a Hungarian family with an early-onset, slowly progressive muscular dystrophy. Both the female proband and her affected son had delayed early motor milestones and presented with progressive weakness of facial, bulbar, axial, and distal muscles especially of the lower extremities. Electromyography indicated myogenic damage and muscle biopsy from the proband showed myopathic alterations with sarcoplasmic masses and signs of mitochondrial dysfunction. Exome sequencing of the female proband identified a novel c.2767delC (p.Arg923AspfsTer17) variant in TNPO3, which was also identified in the affected son by Sanger sequencing; the unaffected son did not have the variant.

PMID:31192305 (2019) reported the identification of a novel heterozygous variant c.2757delC (p.Arg920Glyfs*20) in TNPO3 gene in a three-generation Swedish family with congenital or early-onset myopathy and slow progression, causing proximal and less pronounced distal muscle weakness.

This gene has been associated with Muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, autosomal dominant 2 in OMIM (MIM #608423, last accessed 19 June 2026).

Congenital myopathy v7.70 MCOLN1 Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Mucolipidosis IV (ML4) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder characterized by psychomotor retardation and ophthalmologic abnormalities (OMIM:605248)

PMID: 33454187 Zambon et al 2021 - Bangladeshi boy with consanguineous parents presented with delayed motor milestones, hypotonia and an elevated creatine kinase (CK) at 2.5 yo. Electromyography revealed a myopathy with no evidence of peripheral neuropathy. Muscle biopsy showed evidence of lysosomal storage with mild degeneration/regeneration, but no overt dystrophic changes. WGS found a homozygous null variant in MCOLN1 c.514C>T; p.(Arg172Ter). Both parents were heterozygous carriers of this variant.
The authors note that MCOLN1 analysis may not be included in congenital muscular dystrophy gene panels due to the lack of recognition of the clinical overlap

Congenital myopathy v7.36 CNTN1 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram changed review comment from: PMID:19026398 (2008) reported four individuals from a consanguineous family of Egyptian descent with a lethal congenital myopathy characterised by secondary loss of β2-syntrophin and α-dystrobrevin from the muscle sarcolemma, central nervous system involvement, and fetal akinesia. The patients were identified with a homozygous thymidine duplication (c.871dupT) within exon 8 predicted to result in a reading frameshift introducing a premature stop codon (S291fsX296). There is also functional evidence available from cntn1 null mouse, which presented with ataxia, progressive muscle weakness, and postnatal lethality, similar to the affected members in this family.

PMID:32779773 (2020) reported two siblings presenting parentally with fetal akinesia and with homozygous deletion of exons 2-15 and 18-19. Other features included micrognathia and skin oedema in one, and pleural and pericardial effusions and skin oedema in the other. Both siblings had arthrogryposis and lung hypoplasia.

Added comment: In PMID: 33459760 Deschauer et al 2021 report 15 affected individuals from six families of German, Arabic, and Roma descent with biallelic loss of function variants in VWA1 and a neuromuscular phenotype. In 3 of the families the onset of symptoms was in childhood (ages 2-18yr in F3, ages 2-3yr in F4, and at school age in F5). Muscle biopsies of 3 individuals (F1-II.2, F2-II.1, and F5-II.1) revealed myopathic changes. A 10-bp tandem repeat is duplicated in one variant (p.Gly25Argfs*74]) and deleted in another variant (p.Gly21Alafs*12]). The duplication was found in 3 German families, homozygous in one and compound heterozygous in the other two.

PMID: 33559681 Pagnamenta et al 2021 report 17 individuals from 15 families with an autosomal-recessive, hereditary motor neuropathy and rare biallelic variants in VWA1. The p.(G25Rfs*74) 10-bp repeat expansion was observed in 14/15 families and was homozygous in 10/15. The authors state that the mean age of symptom recognition was 2.0 ± 1.4 years with tip-toe walking, foot deformities, Achilles tendon contractures, and recurrent hip and patellar dislocations.

Given the young age of onset in some patients and myopathy seen in biopsys this gene may be a candidate for green rating on this panel, subject to expert review.

Congenital myopathy v4.26 ADSSL1 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram changed review comment from: As reviewed by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics), evidence from scientific literature show that the onset of distal myopathy caused by ADSSL1 variants is during late childhood/ adolescence in majority of reported cases.

Patients with ADSSL1 myopathy typically visit the hospital for muscle weakness during adulthood; however, all the patients have a history of being the slowest runner among their peers during childhood, which is a characteristic feature of ADSSL1 myopathy. Patients with ADSSL1 myopathy develop distal muscle weakness, including significant post-puberty grip weakness, which occurs in all patients (PMID:35668205).

However, the review of previously reported patients in PMID:28268051 described patients with early childhood onset, with the youngest patient reported at 5 years of age.

PMID:31680123 reported one case identified with homozygous frameshift variant and presented with congenital joint contractures and a more severe neurological phenotype.

As the diffuse muscle weakness started at childhood in at least nine cases and there is a case with congenital joint contractures, and this gene was added green as per expert review, we should keep this gene green on this panel.

Congenital myopathy v1.166 TRIP4 Louise Daugherty changed review comment from: Reviewed by Ivone Leong (Genomics England Curator)
PMID: 26924529 reported on 3 families (2 Kosovo and 1 Albania) who have 2 different variants in TRIP4. The affected individuals presented with prenatal-onset SMA, multiple congenital contractures (arthrogryposis multiplex congenita), respiratory distress, and congenital bone fractures. The authors suspect a founder effect in the Kosovo families. I think I would count this as 2 cases because of this.
There is another paper (PMID: 27008887) which reported on a large family with TRIP4 variant who have neonatal hypotonia particularly marked in axial (neck and trunk) muscles, severe head lag, poor antigravity limb movements and in some patients, respiratory failure and feeding difficulties. There were no congenital contractures. OMIM has classified this variant as Davignon-Chauveau-type congenital muscular dystrophy. Could this be counted as a third case?

Genomics England clinical team who noted there was sufficient for a green rating. The fact that a second case has been found, besides the potential founder variant, and there is a supportive animal model would meet our criteria. additional paper adds evidence of a neuromuscular phenotype associated with this gene

PMID: 26924529 reported on 3 families (2 Kosovo and 1 Albania) who have 2 different variants in TRIP4. The affected individuals presented with prenatal-onset SMA, multiple congenital contractures (arthrogryposis multiplex congenita), respiratory distress, and congenital bone fractures. The authors suspect a founder effect in the Kosovo families. I think I would count this as 2 cases because of this.
There is another paper (PMID: 27008887) which reported on a large family with TRIP4 variant who have neonatal hypotonia particularly marked in axial (neck and trunk) muscles, severe head lag, poor antigravity limb movements and in some patients, respiratory failure and feeding difficulties. There were no congenital contractures. OMIM has classified this variant as Davignon-Chauveau-type congenital muscular dystrophy. Could this be counted as a third case?

Genomics England clinical team noted there was sufficient for a green rating.
