Description
This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 401 of the lamin A/C protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). This variant is located in the C-terminal region of the protein that mediates interaction with many protein binding partners. Functional studies have shown that for the most part, this variant does not adversely affect protein interaction, although interaction with some binding partners may be affected (PMID: 23977161, 24623722, 32698523). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Hauptmann-Thannhauser muscular dystrophy (PMID: 12376891), in a family and an unrelated individual affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25448463, 32880476), and in another individual affected with congenital heart defects (PMID: 32793522). This variant has also been identified in 22/280520 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
