Variant summary: MYLK2 c.1253C>T (p.Thr418Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the protein kinase domain (IPR000719) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0001 in 251340 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0014 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 56 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MYLK2 causing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy phenotype (2.5e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1253C>T in individuals affected with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported ( TTR c.424G>A, p.Val142Ile), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (internal database). One ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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

The c.1253C>T (p.T418I) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 8) of the MYLK2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1253, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 418 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
