RCV000435314 | SCV000535795 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2017-01-09 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the RYR2 gene. The K4791I variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. This variant was not observed in approximately 5,900 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The K4791I variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. Furthermore, in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. The K4791I variant is located in one of the three hot-spot regions of the RYR2 gene, where the majority of pathogenic missense variants occur (Medeiros-Domingo et al., 2009). However, this variant lacks observation in a significant number of affected individuals, segregation data, and functional evidence, which would further clarify its pathogenicity. |
