Invitae | RCV000693844 | SCV000822265 | uncertain significance | Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy | 2018-03-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change falls in intron 7 of the TNNI3 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TNNI3 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TNNI3-related disease. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. The current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in TNNI3 cause disease. |
