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 Alanine with Valine at codon 3118 of the RYR1 protein, p.(Ala3118Val). The maximum allele frequency for this variant among the six major gnomAD populations is AFR: 0.0063, which is considered to be too common for a pathogenic variant causing autosomal dominantly inherited MHS, BA1. This variant has been classified as Benign. Criteria implemented: BA1.
