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 arginine with histidine at codon 401 of the RYR1 protein, p.(Arg401His). The maximum allele frequency for this variant in the Finish population in gnomAD was 0.000046 with one alternate allele. This variant was not identified in any of the six continental populations in gnomAD. This is consistent with pathogenicity. This variant has been reported in eight unrelated individuals who have a personal or family history of a malignant hyperthermia reaction, eight 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), PS4 (PMID:12059893, PMID:16163667, PMID:30236257, PMID:23460944, PMID:24433488). This variant segregates with MHS in three individuals, PP1_Supporting ( PMID:12059893). Functional studies in HEK293 cells show an increased sensitivity to RYR1 agonists PS3_Moderate (PMID:26115329, PMID:31841587). This variant resides in a region of RYR1 considered to be a hotspot for pathogenic variants that contribute to MHS, PM1 (PMID:21118704). This variant segregates with MHS in three individuals, PP1_Supporting (PMID:12059893). A REVEL score >0.85 (0.903) supports a pathogenic status for this variant, PP3_Moderate. This variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Criteria implemented: PS3_Moderate, PS4, PM1, PP1_Supporting, PP3_Moderate.

Malignant hyperthermia, susceptibility to, 1    Pathogenic:2 
The c.1202G>A (p.Arg401His) variant of the RYR1 gene is a missense variant that replaces Arginine with Histidine at codon 401 of the RYR1 protein. This variant has been reported in seven unrelated individuals who have a personal or family history of a malignant hyperthermia reaction, and all these individuals had a positive in vitro contracture test (IVCT) or caffeine halothane contracture test (CHCT) result (PMID:12059893, 16163667, 30236257, 23460944, 24433488). The p.Arg401His variant has been shown to segregate with MHS in three individuals (PMID:12059893). This variant resides in a region of RYR1 considered to be a hotspot for pathogenic variants that contribute to malignant hyperthermia. Functional studies in HEK293 cells shows an increased sensitivity to RYR1 agonists (PMID: 26115329, 31841587). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (REVEL 0.903, PMID: 27666373). Alteration affecting the same amino acid, c.1201C>T (p.Arg401Cys) and c.1202G>T (p.Arg401Leu), were classified as pathogenic and like pathogenic by the expert panel in ClinVar, respectively (ID:133029 and 983140). Based on the supporting evidence, this c.1202G>A (p.Arg401His) variant of RYR1 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

RYR1-related disorder    Pathogenic:1 
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 401 of the RYR1 protein (p.Arg401His). This variant is present in population databases (rs193922766, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant malignant hyperthermia as well as autosomal recessive RYR1-related myopathy (PMID: 12059893, 24433488; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 133030). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on RYR1 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg401 amino acid residue in RYR1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12066726, 16084090, 24433488, 25735680). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Malignant hyperthermia of anesthesia    Pathogenic:1 
The p.Arg401His variant in RYR1 has been reported in 3 probands with malignant hyperthermia and segregated in 3 affected family members (Klingler 2014, Rueffert 2002). This variant was identified in 1/21644 of Finnish chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Several additional variants have been reported at amino acid position 401, including p.Arg401Cys which is classified as pathogenic / likely pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID 133029). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant malignant hyperthermia.
