Genes affected

VCL (HGNC:12665): (vinculin) Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The p.Asn959His variant in VCL has been reported in one individual with dilated cardiomyopathy (Schymanski 2017). It has also been reported as a variant of unce rtain significance in ClinVar (Variation ID# 263962). This variant has been iden tified in 0.004% (1/24037) of African chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Data base (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Asn959His varian t is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2_Supporting. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 959 of the VCL protein (p.Asn959His). This variant is present in population databases (rs758969419, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VCL-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 263962). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Cardiovascular phenotype

Benign:1

Apr 08, 2024

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
