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]

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 20, 2023Variant summary: MYLK c.169C>T (p.Arg57Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Immunoglobulin subtype 2 (IPR003598) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.1e-06 in 246382 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.169C>T in individuals affected with Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms And Dissections and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 7 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 27, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 57 of the MYLK protein (p.Arg57Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs776636237, gnomAD 0.008%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MYLK-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 539086). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MYLK protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 15, 2019The p.R57W variant (also known as c.169C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the MYLK gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 169. The arginine at codon 57 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties, and is located in the Ig-like C2-type 1 domain. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

MYLK-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesFeb 20, 2024The MYLK c.169C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg57Trp. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0082% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
