Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PS4_ModeratePP1_ModeratePS3_ModeratePP3_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 glutamic acid with lysine at codon 3104 of the RYR1 protein, p.(Arg3104Lys). The maximum allele frequency for this variant among the six major gnomAD populations is SAS: 0.000033, a frequency consistent with pathogenicity for MHS. This variant has been reported in five unrelated individuals who have a personal or family history of a malignant hyperthermia reaction, all of these individuals had a positive in vitro contracture test (IVCT) or caffeine halothane contracture test (CHCT) result (if the proband was unavailable for testing, a positive diagnostic test result in a mutation-positive relative was counted), PS4_Moderate (PMID:30236257). This variant segregates with MHS in five individuals, PP1_Moderate (PMID:28403410). A functional study in HEK293 cells shows an increased sensitivity to RYR1 agonists, PS3_Moderate (PMID:28403410). This variant does not reside in a hotspot for pathogenic variants that contribute to MHS. A REVEL score >0.85 (0.869) supports a pathogenic status for this variant, PP3_Moderate. This variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Criteria implemented: PS3_Moderate, PS4_Moderate, PP1_Moderate, PP3_Moderate.

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]

Observed in multiple unrelated patients from different ethnic backgrounds with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility in published literature and not observed at a significant frequency in controls (PMID: 16917943, 28403410); Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant increases receptor activity and resulting calcium release compared with wild type (PMID: 28403410); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20301325, 19648156, 31301762, 31589614, 16917943, Rieko2022[article], 40192509, 28403410, 12668474, 30236257) -

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 3104 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 in HEK239 cells has shown cells expressing this variant have increased sensitivity to RYR1 agonists compared to cells expressing wild-type RYR1 (PMID: 28403410). This variant has been reported in five individuals affected with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (PMID: 16917943, 19648156, 28403410, 28403410, 30236257). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in at least 4 families (PMID: 28403410). This variant has been identified in 1/251370 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

This variant does not reside in a hotspot for pathogenic variants that contribute to MHS. A REVEL score >0.85 (0.869) supports a pathogenic status for this variant, PP3_Moderate.

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

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 3104 of the RYR1 protein (p.Glu3104Lys). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RYR1 function (PMID: 28403410). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt RYR1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 133240). This missense change has been observed in individuals with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (PMID: 16917943, 19648156). This variant is present in population databases (rs193922832, gnomAD 0.003%). -
