Description

This missense variant replaces glycine with serine at codon 357 in the cytoplasmic MIR domain of the RYR2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant causes instability of the N-terminal region and increased propensity for spontaneous calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in conditions that mimic beta-adrenergic stimulations (PMID: 25814417, 28961276). This variant has been identified in about 180 individuals from a large, multi-generational pedigree affected with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), including 9 individuals affected with sudden cardiac death during youth and 40 individuals who received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (PMID: 25814417). In the serial exercise treadmill test, 74% of the carriers exhibited complex ventricular arrhythmias. This variant has also been reported in another 12 individuals affected with CPVT from at least 8 different families (PMID: 19926015, 22068070, 24136861, 29453246, 30763784, 31112425, 32091590, communication with an external laboratory, ClinVar SCV001817325.1). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
