Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM1PM2
The NM_001018005.2(TPM1):c.692A>G(p.Lys231Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. K231K) has been classified as Likely benign.
TPM1 (HGNC:12010): (tropomyosin 1) This gene is a member of the tropomyosin family of highly conserved, widely distributed actin-binding proteins involved in the contractile system of striated and smooth muscles and the cytoskeleton of non-muscle cells. Tropomyosin is composed of two alpha-helical chains arranged as a coiled-coil. It is polymerized end to end along the two grooves of actin filaments and provides stability to the filaments. The encoded protein is one type of alpha helical chain that forms the predominant tropomyosin of striated muscle, where it also functions in association with the troponin complex to regulate the calcium-dependent interaction of actin and myosin during muscle contraction. In smooth muscle and non-muscle cells, alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding a range of isoforms have been described. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 3 familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy 1Y. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2022]

Collection Method:clinical testing
The Lys231Arg variant (TPM1) has not been reported in the literature but has bee n identified in one individual (this individual's father) by our laboratory. Co mputational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, conservation, PolyPhen2 , SIFT, AlignGVGD) do not provide strong support for or against pathogenicity. In the absence of additional information, the clinical significance of this vari ant cannot be determined. -
