ACTC1 (Actin, alpha cardiac muscle 1) variants and mutations

ACTC1 (also known as Actin, alpha cardiac muscle 1) is a human protein-coding gene encoding an actin, alpha cardiac muscle 1 protein. Its cardiac alpha-actin filaments form the core of the sarcomeric thin filament and provide the track against which myosin generates force. Pathogenic variants can cause hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy and selected congenital heart defects. This analysis covers 684 ACTC1 variants and mutations. Of these, 83% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, atrial septal defect 5, and left ventricular noncompaction. Example ACTC1 variants include M1L, M1T, and M1V.
