Description
Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The p.Arg154Cys variant in MYL3 has been previously reported in 1 heterozygous Chinese individu al with HCM (Zou 2013). This variant has also been identified by our laboratory in 1 homozygous Bangladeshi infant with RCM, 1 heterozygous African American adu lt with HCM, and in 1 heterozygous Iranian adult with HCM, and was found to segr egate with disease in 1 heterozygous affected relative. This variant has also be en identified in 1/67688 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortiu m (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs143852164). Computational predi ction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the p rotein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenic ity. In addition, a different amino acid change at this position (p.Arg154His) h as also been reported in several individuals with HCM (Poetter 1996, LMM unpubli shed data), supporting that a change at this position may not be tolerated. In s ummary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical signif icance of the p.Arg154Cys variant is uncertain.
