Genes affected

MYLK (HGNC:7590): (myosin light chain kinase) This gene, a muscle member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily, encodes myosin light chain kinase which is a calcium/calmodulin dependent enzyme. This kinase phosphorylates myosin regulatory light chains to facilitate myosin interaction with actin filaments to produce contractile activity. This gene encodes both smooth muscle and nonmuscle isoforms. In addition, using a separate promoter in an intron in the 3' region, it encodes telokin, a small protein identical in sequence to the C-terminus of myosin light chain kinase, that is independently expressed in smooth muscle and functions to stabilize unphosphorylated myosin filaments. A pseudogene is located on the p arm of chromosome 3. Four transcript variants that produce four isoforms of the calcium/calmodulin dependent enzyme have been identified as well as two transcripts that produce two isoforms of telokin. Additional variants have been identified but lack full length transcripts. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The c.3277_3278delAG variant, located in coding exon 15 of the MYLK gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 3277 to 3278, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S1093Pfs*31). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although loss of function alterations in MYLK have been associated with thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) in two studies (Wang L et al. Am J Hum Genet. 2010;87(5):701-7; Hannuksela M et al. BMC Med Genet. 2016;17(1):61), loss of function of MYLK has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
