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

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Ala2Thr varia nt in MYLK2 has been identified by our laboratory in 1 adult with DCM, 1 adult w ith HCM, 1 child with biventricular hypertrophy and dysfunction, and 1 child wit h possible LVNC/DCM who also carried a pathogenic variant in MYH7. The p.Ala2Thr variant has also been identified in 0.2% (143/72280) of European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSN P rs117502839). Arginine (Arg) at position 2 is not conserved in mice, which car ry a threonine (Thr) at this position, raising the possibility that this change may be tolerated. Additional computational prediction tools do not provide stron g support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, while the clinic al significance of the p.Ala2Thr variant is uncertain, its frequency and lack of conservation in mice suggest that it is more likely to be benign. -
