Of the 815 rare LMNA variants, 57 were computationally predicted to alter normal splicing patterns. Among 14 of 57 LMNA splice candidates that altered splicing in the cell assay, 13 are reported in clinical databases as classified as indicated. One functional variant reported only in the ExAC database is not clinically classified. Of the 1,575 rare MYBPC3 variants, 139 were computationally predicted to alter normal splicing. Among 39 MYBPC3 splice candidates that altered splicing in the cell assays, 35 are reported in clinical databases as classified as indicated. Four functional variants reported only in the ExAC database are not clinically classified.
MYBPC3 c.2905+5G > T was predicted to cause multiple splicing changes. Independent constructs and cell assays were performed to evaluate whether the variant caused a donor loss or acceptor gain (Dataset S4). Cell assays only showed the variant functioned as a donor site loss that significantly altered splicing.
