Genes affected
RYR1 (HGNC:10483): (ryanodine receptor 1) This gene encodes a ryanodine receptor found in skeletal muscle. The encoded protein functions as a calcium release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum but also serves to connect the sarcoplasmic reticulum and transverse tubule. Mutations in this gene are associated with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, central core disease, and minicore myopathy with external ophthalmoplegia. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Reported in an individual with myopathy, who also harbored a second RYR1 frameshift pathogenic variant; his affected son was found to only harbor the frameshift variant, thus indicating that R3550W did not segregate with the phenotype in the family (PMID: 29178655); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; In silico analysis is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31321302, 29178655, 31135626, 36417990, 32153140, tpnkov2025[Abstract]) -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Variant summary: RYR1 c.10648C>T (p.Arg3550Trp) 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 0.00025 in 251424 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in RYR1 causing Congenital multicore myopathy with external ophthalmoplegia (0.00025 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.10648C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with autosomal recessive congenital myopathy (Laughlin_2017, Peddareddygari_2019, Beecroft_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29178655, 32153140, 31135626). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 281479). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg3550Trp variant in RYR1 has been reported as compound heterozyguos with a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in at least two individuals with myopathy (Laughlin 2017 PMID: 29178655; Peddareddygari 2019 PMID: 31135626). It segreagated with disease in one family, but in a second family was not detected in a son of an affected proband who had some features of myopathy. It has also been identified in 0.15% (7/4824) of South Asian chromosomes and 0.013% (2/15276) of Latine/Admixed American chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 281479). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3, PP1, PP3 -

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 and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 3550 of the RYR1 protein (p.Arg3550Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs536304635, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive RYR1-related myopathy (PMID: 29178655, 31135626, 31321302). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 281479). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt RYR1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.10648C>T (p.R3550W) alteration is located in coding exon 72 of the RYR1 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 10648, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 3550 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). for autosomal recessive RYR1-related myopathy; however, it is unlikely to be causative of autosomal dominant RYR1-related myopathy and autosomal dominant malignant hyperthermia susceptibility. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.023% (64/282816) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.18% (55/30616) of South Asian alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other RYR1 variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with autosomal recessive RYR1-related myopathy; in at least one instance, the variants were identified in trans (Laughlin, 2017; Peddareddygari, 2019). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
