This pathogenicity assessment is relevant only for malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Variants in RYR1 can also cause other myopathies inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern or in an autosomal recessive pattern. Some of these disorders may predispose individuals to malignant hyperthermia. RYR1 variants may also contribute to a malignant hyperthermia reaction in combination with other genetic and non-genetic factors and the clinician needs to consider such factors in making management decisions. This sequence variant predicts a substitution of threonine with isoleucine at codon 4826 of the RYR1 protein, p.(Thr4826Ile). The maximum allele frequency for this variant among the six major gnomAD populations is NFE: 0.000009, a frequency consistent with pathogenicity for MHS. This variant has been reported in 14 unrelated individuals who have a personal or family history of a malignant hyperthermia reaction, all of these individuals had a positive in vitro contracture test (IVCT) or caffeine halothane contracture test (CHCT) result (if the proband was unavailable for testing, a positive diagnostic test result in a mutation-positive relative was counted), PS4 (PMID: 30236257, 10888602, 16163667, 18564801, 25960145). This variant segregates with MHS in seven families, PP1_Strong ( PMID: 30236257). Two studies using a knock-in mouse model support pathogenicity of this variant. One study demonstrated a malignant hyperthermia reaction in response to agonist (PMID: 22131268). The other ex vivo study showed increased response to agonist with increased calcium release (PMID: 22139840), PS3_Strong. Studies in dyspedic myotubes also show increased sensitivity to RYR1 agonists (PMID: 12732639, 15347586). This variant resides in a region of RYR1 considered to be a hotspot for pathogenic variants that contribute to MHS, PM1_Sup (PMID: 21118704). A REVEL score >0.85 (0.977) supports a pathogenic status for this variant, PP3_Moderate. This variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Criteria implemented: PS3, PS4, PM1_Supporting, PP1_Strong, PP3_Moderate.
