Description
The p.R453W pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1357C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the LMNA gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1357. The arginine at codon 453 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with laminopathies, most commonly Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy with or without cardiac manifestations, has been reported to occur de novo in affected cases, and has also shown segregation with disease features in families (Bonne G et al. Nat Genet, 1999 Mar;21:285-8; Raffaele Di Barletta M et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2000 Apr;66:1407-12; Brown CA et al. Am J Med Genet, 2001 Sep;102:359-67; Favreau C et al. Mol Cell Biol, 2004 Feb;24:1481-92; Mitsuhashi H et al. J Cell Sci, 2010 Nov;123:3893-900; Scharner J et al. Hum Mutat, 2011 Feb;32:152-67; Magagnotti C et al. Biochim Biophys Acta, 2012 Jun;1822:970-9; Park HJ et al. Clin Genet, 2017 Mar;91:403-410; Wang L et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis, 2018 Aug;13:133; Westra D et al. J Neuromuscul Dis, 2019;6:241-258; Eldin AJ et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf), 2021 Jun;94:1043-1053; Iskandar K et al. BMC Pediatr, 2022 Oct;22:601). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
