Description
This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 145 in the actin binding region of the TNNI3 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). An experimental functional study has shown that this variant reduces the intrinsic inhibitory activity of the cardiac troponin I protein without changing the apparent affinity for actin and increases the Ca2+ sensitivity of cardiac muscle contraction (PMID: 11735257). This variant has been reported in over 15 individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 9241277, 15607392, 23283745, 24111713, 25132132, 27532257, 28193612, 29255176, 32492895, 32686758, 34137518). In one family, it has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in three individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 29255176). This variant has also been reported in individuals suspected to be affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 31737537, 33673806) and in an individual affected with restrictive cardiomyopathy (PMID: 21533915). This variant has been identified in 4/248984 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same codon, p.Arg145Trp and p.Arg145Gly, are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 12426 and 12419), suggesting that arginine at this position is important for TNNI3 protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.
