RCV000158251 | SCV000208186 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2012-11-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | p.Phe1227Ile (TTC>ATC): c.3679 T>A in exon 33 of the MYBPC3 gene (NM_000256.3). The Phe1227Ile variant in the MYBPC3 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Phe1227Ile results in a conservative amino acid substitution of one non-polar amino acid with another at a position that is conserved in mammals. Mutations in nearby codons (Leu1219Pro, Ser1231Gly) have been reported in association with HCM, supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports Phe1227Ile was not observed in approximately 6,000 samples from individuals of European and African American backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Phe1227Ile is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. Mutations in the MYBPC3 gene have been reported in 20%-30% of patients with autosomal dominant familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and have been reported less frequently in patients with autosomal dominant familial dilated cardiomyopathy (Cirino A et al., 2011; Hershberger R et al., 2009). The variant is found in HCM panel(s). |
