Genes affected

VCL (HGNC:12665): (vinculin) Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 512 of the VCL protein (p.Arg512Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs781079975, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VCL-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 468808). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R512C variant (also known as c.1534C>T), located in coding exon 11 of the VCL gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1534. The arginine at codon 512 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is not 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. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg512Cys variant in VCL has not been previously reported in the literature, but has been reported as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (Variation ID 468808). It has been identified in 0.02% (7/34278) of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs781079975). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The identification of this variant in an individual with HCM and an alternate cause of disease (LMM unpublished data) provides some support that it may not be disease causing. In summary, the aggregate of evidence suggests the p.Arg512Cys variant is likely benign. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: BS1_Supporting, BP4, BP5. -
