ClinVar

Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 141 of the TNNI3 protein (p.Arg141Trp). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with TNNI3-related conditions (PMID: 29121657, 30847666, 32758068). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181580). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. This variant disrupts the p.Arg141 amino acid residue in TNNI3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12707239, 15607392, 18403758, 19645627, 22429680, 22876777, 23283745, 25524337). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
