One of the two Myosin Va mutations described, the Arg→Cys alteration at codon 1,246 (C→T transition at nt 3,736), was found to be a relatively common polymorphism. Several healthy individuals are homozygous carriers of the Cys1246 allele. This fact was first pointed out to Nature Genetics by Jo Lambert, Jean Marie Naeyeart, Anne de Paepe, Rudy van Coster, Alina Ferster, Michele Song and Ludwine Messiaen of the University of Gent, Gent, Belgium. It was subsequently acknowledged by Pastural et al.
