Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the MYH7 gene is commonly pathogenic or not.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity essential for muscle contraction. Forms regular bipolar thick filaments that, together with actin thin filaments, constitute the fundamental contractile unit of skeletal and cardiac muscle. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:26150528, ECO:0000305|PubMed:26246073}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Cardiomyopathy, familial hypertrophic 1 (CMH1) [MIM:192600]: A hereditary heart disorder characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, which is usually asymmetric and often involves the interventricular septum. The symptoms include dyspnea, syncope, collapse, palpitations, and chest pain. They can be readily provoked by exercise. The disorder has inter- and intrafamilial variability ranging from benign to malignant forms with high risk of cardiac failure and sudden cardiac death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10065021, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10329202, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10521296, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10563488, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10679957, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10862102, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11113006, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11133230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11214007, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11424919, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11733062, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11861413, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11968089, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12081993, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12566107, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12590187, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12707239, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12818575, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12820698, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12951062, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12974739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12975413, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1417858, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15358028, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15483641, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1552912, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15563892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15856146, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15858117, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16199542, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16267253, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1638703, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16650083, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16938236, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17095604, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17372140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18175163, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18403758, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1975517, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25182012, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7581410, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7731997, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7848441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7874131, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8250038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8254035, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8268932, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8282798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8343162, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8435239, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8483915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8655135, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8899546, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9544842, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9822100, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9829907}.

Clinical manifestations are variable. Some affected individuals experience no symptoms at all, others develop heart failure. In some cases, left ventricular non-compaction is associated with other congenital heart anomalies. LVNC5 is an autosomal dominant condition. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18506004}.
