Genes affected
ACTN2 (HGNC:164): (actinin alpha 2) Alpha actinins belong to the spectrin gene superfamily which represents a diverse group of cytoskeletal proteins, including the alpha and beta spectrins and dystrophins. Alpha actinin is an actin-binding protein with multiple roles in different cell types. In nonmuscle cells, the cytoskeletal isoform is found along microfilament bundles and adherens-type junctions, where it is involved in binding actin to the membrane. In contrast, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle isoforms are localized to the Z-disc and analogous dense bodies, where they help anchor the myofibrillar actin filaments. This gene encodes a muscle-specific, alpha actinin isoform that is expressed in both skeletal and cardiac muscles. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

The c.1057C>T (p.R353W) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 10) of the ACTN2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1057, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 353 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

The Arg353Trp variant in ACTN2 has now been identified by our laboratory in 2 in dividuals with HCM, one of whom also carried a pathogenic variant in another gen e. The Arg353Trp variant has not been identified in large population studies. Co mputational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, conservation, AlignGVGD , PolyPhen2, and SIFT) suggest that the Arg353Trp variant may impact the protein , though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Additional information is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of th e Arg353Trp variant.
