Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points: 0P and 12B. BP4_ModerateBP6_ModerateBA1
The NM_053025.4(MYLK):c.*1538A>G variant causes a 3 prime UTR change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0163 in 152,252 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 78 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★).
MYLK (HGNC:7590): (myosin light chain kinase) This gene, a muscle member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily, encodes myosin light chain kinase which is a calcium/calmodulin dependent enzyme. This kinase phosphorylates myosin regulatory light chains to facilitate myosin interaction with actin filaments to produce contractile activity. This gene encodes both smooth muscle and nonmuscle isoforms. In addition, using a separate promoter in an intron in the 3' region, it encodes telokin, a small protein identical in sequence to the C-terminus of myosin light chain kinase, that is independently expressed in smooth muscle and functions to stabilize unphosphorylated myosin filaments. A pseudogene is located on the p arm of chromosome 3. Four transcript variants that produce four isoforms of the calcium/calmodulin dependent enzyme have been identified as well as two transcripts that produce two isoforms of telokin. Additional variants have been identified but lack full length transcripts. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.3).
BP6
Variant 3-123612567-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-123612567-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 342828.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
BA1
GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.0548 is higher than 0.05.
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 benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
