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]

Variant summary: MYLK c.1327C>T (p.Pro443Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in one of the immunoglobulin subtype 2 domains (IPR003598) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.014 in 280644 control chromosomes (predominantly reported within the Ashkenazi Jewish and Non-Finnish European subpopulations) in the gnomAD database, including 35 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within the gnomAD database is approximately 500 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MYLK causing Aortopathy phenotype (2.5e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism. Though the variant, c.1327C>T, has been reported to be found in a cohort of patients with familial abdominal aortic aneurysm, however, the variant was noted to be a part of complex genotypes, and it did not segregate with the disease in at least one family (van de Luijtgaarden_2015). To our knowledge no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function has been reported. Six ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant five times as benign and once as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 7 Benign:2

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

MYLK NM_053025.3 exon 11 p.Pro443Ser (c.1327C>T): This variant has been reported in the literature in one individual with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (van de Luijtgaarden 2015 PMID:26017485). However, this variant is also present in 1.8% (1212/64560) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, including 11 homozygotes (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/3-123733085-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r3) and is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as benign or likely benign (Variation ID:226754). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may impact the protein. In summary, data on this variant suggests that this variant does not cause disease, but requires further evidence. Therefore this variant is classified as likely benign. -
