Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	RCV000415658	SCV000440322	uncertain significance	Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 7	2018-01-13	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000420099	SCV001338138	likely benign	not specified	2020-02-03	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: MYLK c.1968G>T (p.Trp656Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the fifth immunoglobulin-like domain (IPR007110) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0013 in 251486 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0021 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 84 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MYLK causing Aortopathy phenotype (2.5e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.1968G>T has been reported in the literature to be found in unaffected controls (Wang_2010). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as benign (1x) / likely benign (2x) or VUS (4x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
