Variant summary: TCAP c.388C>T (p.Arg130Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 249646 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TCAP causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (2.5e-05), suggesting that the variant is benign. c.388C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy (Pugh_2014, Walsh_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
The Arg130Cys variant has not been reported in the literature. It has been dete cted together with another, pathogenic DCM variant in 1/>250 Caucasian probands tested by our laboratory. Because it has not yet been observed in isolation in a n affected individual, its clinical significance cannot be fully assessed. Argin ine (Arg) at amino acid position 130 is not conserved in evolutionary distant sp ecies (though frog and fish carry a lysine), reducing the likelihood that the ch ange is pathogenic. On the other hand, three computer tools (AlignGVGD, Polyphen 2, SIFT) predict this change to be deleterious although their accuracy has not b een clinically validated. In summary, additional data is needed to assess the cl inical significance of the Arg130Cys variant. -

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 25 Uncertain:1
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
Primary familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy;C4225408:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 25 Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 130 of the TCAP protein (p.Arg130Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs374886575, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 24503780, 27532257). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44708). 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 disruptive. 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. -
