Genes affected

MYH7 (HGNC:7577): (myosin heavy chain 7) Muscle myosin is a hexameric protein containing 2 heavy chain subunits, 2 alkali light chain subunits, and 2 regulatory light chain subunits. This gene encodes the beta (or slow) heavy chain subunit of cardiac myosin. It is expressed predominantly in normal human ventricle. It is also expressed in skeletal muscle tissues rich in slow-twitch type I muscle fibers. Changes in the relative abundance of this protein and the alpha (or fast) heavy subunit of cardiac myosin correlate with the contractile velocity of cardiac muscle. Its expression is also altered during thyroid hormone depletion and hemodynamic overloading. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myosin storage myopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and Laing distal myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

MHRT (HGNC:51291): (myosin heavy chain associated RNA transcript) This gene encodes a spliced long non-coding RNA that may act as a cardioprotective agent in the heart. Based on a study of a similar gene in mouse, the encoded transcript may regulate chromatin remodeling by acting as a decoy to the BRG1 chromatin repressor complex thus preventing it from binding to its genomic targets. Blocking the actions of BRG1 could be crucial in protecting the heart from pathological hypertrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

Variant summary: MYH7 c.4828G>A (p.Glu1610Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant was absent in 251492 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4828G>A has been observed in the presumed heterozygous state in individual(s) affected with dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and skeletal myopathy (example, Topf_2020, Carrington_2023, Bourfiss_2022), without strong evidence for causality. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with MYH7-related conditions. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect (Carrington_2023). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32528171, 37788100, 36264615). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 312894). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1610 of the MYH7 protein (p.Glu1610Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of MYH7-related conditions (PMID: 32528171). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 312894). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MYH7 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
