Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the MYO7A 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. Unconventional myosins serve in intracellular movements. Their highly divergent tails bind to membranous compartments, which are then moved relative to actin filaments. In the retina, plays an important role in the renewal of the outer photoreceptor disks. Plays an important role in the distribution and migration of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) melanosomes and phagosomes, and in the regulation of opsin transport in retinal photoreceptors. In the inner ear, plays an important role in differentiation, morphogenesis and organization of cochlear hair cell bundles. Involved in hair-cell vesicle trafficking of aminoglycosides, which are known to induce ototoxicity (By similarity). Motor protein that is a part of the functional network formed by USH1C, USH1G, CDH23 and MYO7A that mediates mechanotransduction in cochlear hair cells. Required for normal hearing. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19643958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21493626, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21687988, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21709241}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Usher syndrome 1B (USH1B) [MIM:276900]: USH is a genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by the association of retinitis pigmentosa with sensorineural deafness. Age at onset and differences in auditory and vestibular function distinguish Usher syndrome type 1 (USH1), Usher syndrome type 2 (USH2) and Usher syndrome type 3 (USH3). USH1 is characterized by profound congenital sensorineural deafness, absent vestibular function and prepubertal onset of progressive retinitis pigmentosa leading to blindness. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10094549, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10364543, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10447383, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10930322, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12112664, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15660226, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16679490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23559863, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24831256, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25798947, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7870171, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8900236, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9002678, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9382091, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9718356}.
