ClinGen Malignant Hyperthermia Susceptibility Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGen RCV001449998 SCV001653548 likely pathogenic Malignant hyperthermia of anesthesia 2023-04-06 reviewed by expert panel curation This pathogenicity assessment is relevant only for malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Variants in RYR1 can also cause other myopathies inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern or in an autosomal recessive pattern. Some of these disorders may predispose individuals to malignant hyperthermia. RYR1 variants may also contribute to a malignant hyperthermia reaction in combination with other genetic and non-genetic factors and the clinician needs to consider such factors in making management decisions. This sequence variant predicts a substitution of arginine with tryptophan at codon 4737 of the RYR1 protein, p.(Arg4737Trp). This variant was not present in a large population database (gnomAD) at the time this variant was interpreted. This variant has been reported in five individuals with a personal or family history of an MH episode and a positive in vitro contracture test (IVCT) or caffeine halothane contracture test (CHCT) result (if the proband was unavailable for testing, a positive diagnostic test result in a mutation-positive relative was counted), PS4_Moderate (PMID: 16163667, 26631338, 30236257, VCEP participating clinical laboratory). This variant segregates with MHS in 4 individuals, PP1 (PMID:26631338, 12208234). No functional studies were identified for this variant. This variant resides in a region of RYR1 considered to be a hotspot for pathogenic variants that contribute to MHS, PM1_Sup (PMID: 21118704). A REVEL score >0.85 (.882) supports a pathogenic status for this variant, PP3_Moderate. Another variant has been assessed as likely pathogenic occurs at this codon, p.(Arg4737Gln), PM5_Supporting (PMID: 23460944). This variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Criteria implemented: PS4_Moderate, PM1_Supporting, PM5_Supporting, PP1, PP3_moderate.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001070022 SCV001235229 pathogenic RYR1-related disorder 2024-08-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 4737 of the RYR1 protein (p.Arg4737Trp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant malignant hyperthermia (PMID: 12208234, 16163667, 26631338). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Arg4736Trp. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 133060). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt RYR1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RYR1 function (PMID: 27558158). This variant disrupts the p.Arg4737 amino acid residue in RYR1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16163667, 18564801, 19648156, 25960145). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
GeneDx RCV000119502 SCV001875125 pathogenic not provided 2021-07-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Published functional analysis showed that R4737W increases the probability of the channel opening, resulting in calcium leak and disrupting channel function relative to controls (Kushnir et al., 2020); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27535533, 12208234, 16163667, 25960145, 32236737, 20566647, 16835904, 31130284, 27558158, 26631338)

Suma Genomics RCV001070022 SCV005888635 pathogenic RYR1-related disorder criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing A missense variant c.14209C>T, p.(Arg4737Trp) is observed in exon 98 of RYR1 in homozygous state. This variant is reported in the ClinVar database as likely pathogenic (ClinVar id. 133060) and also curated by the ClinGen malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) variant curation expert panel (Johnston et al. 2022). In-silico analysis tool REVEL is consistent in predicting this variant to be disease-causing. ACMG classification: Pathogenic Criteria met: PS4_Moderate PM1_Supporting PM5_Supporting PP1 PP3
