Description
The c.6617C>T (p.Thr2206Met) variant in the RYR1 gene, that encodes ryanodine receptor 1, has been identified in numerous unrelated individuals (>50) with personal or family history of a malignant hyperthermia reaction and a positive in-vitro contracture test (IVCT) or caffeine halothane contracture test (CHCT) result (PMID: 30236257, 12059893, 24433488, 23558838, 10484775, 25735680, 25960145, 16163667, 11575529, 12220451, 12434264, 15731587, 17081152, 18505122, 22696611, 9497245, 25268394, 31559918, ClinGen Review [ClinVar ID:12977]). This variant segregates with malignant hyperthermia syndrome (MHS) in nine individuals (PMID: 12059893, 25960145).This missense variant resides in a mutational hot spot region that contributes to MHS (PMID: 21118704). A functional study in HEK293 cells shows an increased sensitivity to RYR1 agonists (PMID: 27586648). In-silico computational prediction tools suggest that the p.Thr2206Met variant may have deleterious effect on the protein function (REVEL score: 0.95). This variant has been interpreted as pathogenic by several submitters in ClinVar database including the ClinGen expert panel (ClinVar ID: 12977). Therefore, the c.6617C>T (p.Thr2206Met) variant in the RYR1 gene is classified as pathogenic.
