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]

This is a RefSeq error. The reference base (c.439C) is the minor allele. This al lele (C) has been identified in 0.7% (61/8600) of European American chromosomes and 36% (1598/4406) of African American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencin g Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs9840993) and thus meets cr iteria to be classified as benign. -

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

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 benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Variant summary: This c.439C>T affects a conserved nucleotide, resulting in amino acid change from Pro to Ser. 3/4 in-silico tools predict this variant to be benign. This variant was found in 114076/120782 control chromosomes from ExAC at a frequency of 0.9444785, which is more than 75557 times greater than the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0000125) in this gene. This proves that this variant is a very common polymorphism. One clinical lab (via ClinVar) has classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant has been classified as Benign. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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. -
