Description
A variant of unknown significance has been identified in the ACTN2 gene. The E583G variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The E583G variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals. A mutation in the same residue (E583A) has been reported in HGMD in association with HCM (Stenson P et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. However, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Furthermore, E583G was reported in 1/694 (0.1%) alleles from individuals of ad Mixed American ancestry (McVean et al., 2012)Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant
