Genes affected

MYH6 (HGNC:7576): (myosin heavy chain 6) Cardiac muscle myosin is a hexamer consisting of two heavy chain subunits, two light chain subunits, and two regulatory subunits. This gene encodes the alpha heavy chain subunit of cardiac myosin. The gene is located approximately 4kb downstream of the gene encoding the beta heavy chain subunit of cardiac myosin. Mutations in this gene cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and atrial septal defect 3. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -16 ACMG points.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 15, 2020	Variant summary: MYH6 c.3979-7delT alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0032 in 184810 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.08 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 6 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3200 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MYH6 causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (2.5e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3979-7delT in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign (n=4)/likely benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
