Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. BS1PP3_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 tyrosine with cysteine at codon 3933 of the RYR1 protein, p.(Tyr3933Cys). The maximum allele frequency for this variant among the six major gnomAD populations is NFE: 0.001332, this is considered to be more common than expected for a pathogenic variant causing autosomal dominantly inherited MHS, BS1. This variant has been reported in six 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) (PMID:25958340, 20681998, 23558838, 25658027, 25735680). However, the high MAF in the NFE population in gnomAD precludes the use of PS4. No functional studies were identified for this variant. This variant does not reside in a hotspot for pathogenic variants that contribute to MHS. A REVEL score >0.85 (0.983) supports a pathogenic status for this variant, PP3_Moderate. Based on using Bayes to combine criteria this variant is classified as Likely Benign, (PMID:29300386). Criteria implemented: PP3_Moderate, BS1.

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]

Y3933C and R3366H reported in cis, and in conjunction with an additional RYR1 variant on the opposite allele, have been reported in patients with core myopathies as well as malignant hyperthermia susceptibility in some cases (PMID: 25960145, 23919265, 25958340); Patients with only Y3933C and R3366H variants were reported to have malignant hyperthermia susceptibility or to be unaffected (PMID: 25958340, 25960145); 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: 36628841, 30788618, 30611313, 31321302, 32125936, 25637381, 20681998, 24055113, 25747005, 24950660, 23558838, 23919265, 25735680, 22473935, 21674524, 28269792, 28259615, 26332594, 25214167, 18564801, 30155738, 25658027, 30932294, 31517061, 32236737, 32528171, 33646171, 33726816, 35428369, 32403337, 35207755, 34008892, 37643885, 38112957, 25960145, 25958340, 37937776, 36833224, Hiraide2024[casereport], 41009941)

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

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 3933 of the RYR1 protein (p.Tyr3933Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs147136339, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. Three missense variants, p.Ile1571Val, p.Arg3366His, and p.Tyr3933Cys, which includes this variant (p.Tyr3933Cys), have been reported together in multiple individuals and families affected with RYR1-related disorders including malignant hyperthermia (MH) syndrome, congenital myopathy, central core disease (CCD), and multi minicore disease (MmD). In some cases, the phase of the three variants along with additional RYR1 variants was established, while in other cases it could not be determined. It is therefore unclear if one of the three variants or the additive effect of some or all of these mutations are causative for the RYR1-associated diseases in reported individuals (PMID: 25958340, 25735680, 25214167, 24950660, 25960145, 25658027, 21674524, 18564801, 20681998, 23558838, 30611313). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 133021). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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.

Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change in RYR1 is predicted to replace tyrosine with cysteine at codon 3933, p.(Tyr3933Cys). The tyrosine residue is highly conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located in exon 86. There is a large physicochemical difference between tyrosine and cysteine. The highest population minor allele frequency in the population database gnomAD v2.1 is 0.13% (172/129,120 alleles) in the European (non-Finnish) population. This variant is almost always reported in a haplotype with two other RYR1 missense variants, p.[(Ile1571Val);(Arg3366His);(Tyr3933Cys)]. The haplotype has been detected in at least 19 individuals with a phenotype consistent with RYR1-related myopathy with/without malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS). Of those individuals, 14 were compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant and 8 of those were confirmed in trans by parental/family testing (PMID: 22473935, 23394784, 24950660, 25958340, 25960145, 30611313, 32236737, 35428369). The haplotype segregates with myopathy in a recessive mode of inheritance in at least one family, and there is conflicting evidence for segregation with MHS (PMID: 22473935, 23394784, 25958340). There is limited evidence that the monoallelic haplotype is associated with RYR1-related disease, it has been detected in individuals that unaffected, with MHS, and symptomatic hyperCKaemia (PMID: 25958340, 28259615, 31517061, 32236737). To our knowledge, the variant has not been detected alone. Multiple lines of computational evidence predict a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (5/5 algorithms). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.5.1, this variant is classified as a VARIANT OF UNCERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE. Following criteria are met: PP3. The haplotype is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PM3_VeryStrong, PP1.

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.1.1, this variant is classified as a VUS. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Both loss- and gain-of-function are known mechanisms of disease for this gene (PMID: 23919265) (N) 0108 - This gene is known to be associated with both recessive and dominant disease (OMIM) (N) 0112 - Variants in this gene are known to have reduced penetrance (PMID: 31206373). (N) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from tyrosine to cysteine (exon 86). (N) 0251 - Variant is heterozygous. (N) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (240 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (P) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD: p.(Tyr3933His) (1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (N) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (P) 0602 - Variant is located in a hotspot region or cluster of pathogenic variants. Located in the C-terminal/R3 domain (PMID: 23919265). (P) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (N) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity are conflicting. This variant has been reported as VUS (7x), likely benign (1x) and benign (1x) in ClinVar. It has also previously been reported in cis with two additional RYR1 variants (p.(Ile1571Val) and p.(Arg3366His)) in MH susceptible individuals (PMID: 25958340). In addition, these three RYR1 variants have been reported in trans with the pathogenic p.(Val4849Ile) variant in patients with CCD, multiminicore disease, as well as in a patient with core myopathy and MH susceptibility (PMID: 25960145). (N) 0905 - No segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (N) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (N) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available. (N) Legend: (P) - Pathogenic, (N) - Neutral, (B) - Benign

Variant summary: RYR1 c.11798A>G (p.Tyr3933Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the RyR/IP3R Homology associated domain (IPRIPR013662) of 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 0.00087 in 251418 control chromosomes. c.11798A>G has been reported in the literature in cis with c.10097G>A and c.4711A>G in individuals affected with RYR1-Associated Myopathy (malignant hyperthermia (MH), congenital myopathy, central core disease (CCD), and multi minicore disease (MmD) (examples: Duarte_2011, Rocha_2014, Savarese_2014, Fiszer_2015, Snoeck_2015, Gillies_2015, Kraeva_2015, Garibaldi_2019, Granger_2023). It is unclear if one of the three variants or the combined effect of these mutations are causative for the RYR1-associated diseases in reported individuals. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30611313, 21674524, 25658027, 25960145, 24950660, 25214167, 25735680, 25958340, 36628841, 37937776). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 133021). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
