Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PS4_ModeratePP1_ModeratePS3_SupportingPP3PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The m.8363G>A variant in MT-TK has been reported in at least 30 individuals with primary mitochondrial disease from 12 kindreds. Features seen in affected individuals include Leigh syndrome and myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF), as well as myopathy, peripheral neuropathy, ataxia, cardiomyopathy, sensorineural hearing loss, ophthalmoplegia, and lipomas. Heteroplasmy levels of this variant in affected individuals is variable, ranging from 40-97% (PS4_moderate; PMIDs: 8651277, 9052804, 10868777, 11108511, 19278689, 18319067, 19370763, 10102446, 16326995, 9932960). This variant segregated with disease in multiple affected family members in multiple families and several healthy family members had lower to undetectable levels (PP1_moderate; PMIDs: 9052804, 10868777, 10102446, 9932960). There are no confirmed de novo occurrences of this variant to our knowledge. The computational predictor MitoTIP suggests this variant impacts the function of this tRNA with a score of 94.3 percentile, as does HmtVar with a score of 0.75 (PP3). This variant is absent in the GenBank dataset, Helix dataset, and gnomAD v3.1.2 (PM2_supporting). Single fiber testing and cybrid analysis further support the functional impact of this variant (PS3_suporting). Single fiber testing showed the variant was significantly higher in COX-negative ragged red fibers (n = 5; 97.3% ± 2.5) than in normal fibers (n = 5; 89.2 ± 8.3; p < 0.05; PMID:9932960). Cybrid studies showed that clones with the variant present at homoplasmy had statistically significant decreases in Complex I, ATP synthase, and oxygen consumption (PMIDs: 15554876, 25909222). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for primary mitochondrial disease inherited in a mitochondrial manner. This classification was approved by the NICHD/NINDS U24 ClinGen Mitochondrial Disease Variant Curation Expert Panel on March 13, 2023. Mitochondrial DNA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied (PMID:32906214): PS4_moderate, PP3, PP1_moderate, PS3_supporting, PM2_supporting.
