Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 3P and 1B. BS3_SupportingPM1_SupportingPP3_Moderate
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: This pathogenicity assessment is relevant only for malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Variants in RYR1 can also cause other myopathies inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern or in an autosomal recessive pattern. Some of these disorders may predispose individuals to malignant hyperthermia. RYR1 variants may also contribute to a malignant hyperthermia reaction in combination with other genetic and non-genetic factors and the clinician needs to consider such factors in making management decisions.This sequence variant predicts a substitution of threonine with methionine at codon 4709 of the RYR1 protein, p.(Thr4709Met). The maximum allele frequency for this variant among the six major gnomAD populations is SAS: 0.00003, a frequency consistent with pathogenicity for MHS. This variant has been reported in individuals with recessive myopathies (PMID:17033962, PMID:21062345, PMID:22473935). A knock-in mouse model does not demonstrate a response to isoflurane in the heterozygous state, this is considered evidence against pathogenicity for autosomal dominantly inherited MH, BS_Supporting (PMID:31107960). This variant resides in a region of RYR1 considered to be a hotspot for pathogenic variants that contribute to MHS, PM1_Sup (PMID:21118704). A REVEL score >0.85 (0.901) supports a pathogenic status for this variant, PP3_Moderate. This variant has been classified as a Variant of Unknown Significance.

Malignant hyperthermia, susceptibility to, 1 Uncertain:3
This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

This missense variant replaces threonine with methionine at codon 4709 of the RYR1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study using genetically engineered mice showed that mice homozygous for this variant are hypersensitive to isoflurane and experience an increase in core body temperature similar to malignant hyperthermia susceptible mice, but at a slower rate. Further, the study showed that mice heterozygous for this variant were not hypersensitive to isoflurane and did not experience an increase in core temperature compared to wild-type mice (PMID: 31107960). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with autosomal dominant malignant hyperthermia in the literature, although it is associated with other phenotype(s) (ClinVar variation ID: 65996). This variant has been identified in 12/281074 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Due to insufficient evidence, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance for autosomal dominant malignant hyperthermia. -

RYR1-related disorder Pathogenic:2
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 4709 of the RYR1 protein (p.Thr4709Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs118192140, gnomAD 0.09%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive congenital myopathy (PMID: 17483490, 23919265, 31055738; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65996). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on RYR1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RYR1 function (PMID: 1743490). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
The RYR1 c.14126C>T (p.Thr4709Met) variant has been reported in at least five studies and is found in a total of five patients with RYR1-related disorders including central code disease, multiminicore disease, and neuromuscular disease including four in a compound heterozygous state and one in a heterozygous state (Zhou et al. 2007; Bevilacqua et al. 2011; Amburgey et al. 2013; Vill et al. 2017; Todd et al. 2018). The p.Thr4709Met variant was absent from 300 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.000888 in the Ashkenazi Jewish population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Zhou et al. (2007) demonstrated greatly reduced levels of RYR1 protein in skeletal muscles of patients in whom the p.Thr4709Met heterozygous variant was expressed in the background of a second non-transcribed allele. Based on the evidence, the p.Thr4709Met variant is classified as likely pathogenic RYR1-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

RYR1 NM_000540.2 exon 96 p.Thr4709Met (c.14126C>T): This variant has been reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state or with monoallelic expression in at least 3 individuals with congenital myopathies (Zhou 2007 PMID:17483490, Bevilacqua 2011 PMID:21062345, Amburgey 2013 PMID:23919265). This variant is present in 0.08% (9/10346) of Ashkenazi Jewish alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-39063944-C-T). Please note, disease causing variants may be present in control databases at low frequencies, reflective of the general population, carrier status, and/or variable expressivity. This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as pathogenic or likely pathogenic (Variation ID:65996). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may impact the protein. Additionally, western blot studies on skeletal muscle tissue have demonstrated decreased protein expression, further supporting a deleterious effect of this variant (Zhou 2007 PMID:17483490). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic based on the data above. -

Congenital myopathy Pathogenic:1
The heterozygous p.Thr4709Met variant in RYR1 was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state, along with a likely pathogenic variant, in 1 individual with autosomal recessive congenital myopathy. The p.Thr4709Met variant in RYR1 has been reported in at least 2 individuals with congenital myopathy (PMID: 21062345, 30155738), and has been identified in 0.1% (29/29576) of Ashkenazi Jewish chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs118192140). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 65996) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple submitters for congenital myopathy, and as a variant of uncertain significance by the ClinGen Malignant Hyperthermia Susceptibility Variant Curation Expert Panel. Of the 3 affected individuals, 3 were compound heterozygotes that carried reported pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in trans or with unknown phase, which increases the likelihood that the p.Thr4709Met variant is pathogenic (PMID: 30155738). Animal models in mice have shown that this variant causes autosomal recessive congenital myopathy (PMID: 31107960). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The number of missense variants reported in RYR1 in the general population is lower than expected, suggesting there is little benign variation in this gene and slightly increasing the possibility that a missense variant in this gene may not be tolerated. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive congenital myopathy.
