Description
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0101 - Gain of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with LQTS (MIM#618447) and Timothy syndrome (MIM#601005). Missense variants result in loss of channel inactivation and increased current (OMIM, PMID: 25260352). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated I-II cytoplasmic linker region (PMID: 30513141). (I) 0702 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case have moderate previous evidence for pathogenicity. These alternative changes (p.Arg518Ser, p.Arg518His) have been reported as likely pathogenic and pathogenic, and have been observed in multiple patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Long QT syndrome (LQTS) (ClinVar, LOVD, PMID: 30513141, 30025578, 32161207). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic and likely pathogenic, and has been observed in multiple patients with HCM, LQTS, congenital heart defects and sudden cardiac death (VCGS, LOVD, ClinVar, PMID: 30513141, 29071820, 30984024, 32161207). (SP) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Transfected HEK293 cells have demonstrated both loss of function and gain of function effects on protein function, including slowed channel inactivation (PMID: 30513141). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign
