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]

MYH7 links:

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.4717G>A (p.Glu1573Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Myosin tail (IPR002928) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6e-05 in 251370 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MYH7 causing Cardiomyopathy (6e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4717G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy, Left ventricular hypertrabeculation, and Ebstein's anomaly (Jamka_2017, Verdonschot_2020, Postma_2011, Haas_2015). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. Co-occurrences with another pathogenic variant has been reported (MYH7 c.2167C>T, p.Arg723Gly, internal data), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25163546, 28798025, 21127202, 26150528, 32880476). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 222729). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1573 of the MYH7 protein (p.Glu1573Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs750987717, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with MYH7-related conditions (PMID: 21127202, 28798025, 32880476). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 222729). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.E1573K variant (also known as c.4717G>A), located in coding exon 32 of the MYH7 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4717. The glutamic acid at codon 1573 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was detected in a proband with Ebstein's anomaly, mild apical hypertrabeculation and VSD, but was also detected in an unaffected parent (Postma AV et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2011 Feb;4:43-50). This variant has also been detected in a case reported to have left ventricular non-compaction, a case with dilated cardiomyopathy, and in a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cohort; however, details were limited and additional variants in cardiac-related genes were also detected in some cases (Miszalski-Jamka K et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2017 Aug;10; Verdonschot JAJ et al. Circ Genom Precis Med, 2020 Oct;13:476-487; Harper AR et al. Nat Genet, 2021 Feb;53:135-142). This variant has also been detected in three individuals from an exome sequencing cohort who were not known to have cardiomyopathy or skeletal myopathy (Park J et al. Hum Mol Genet, 2022 Mar;31:827-837). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The MYH7 c.4717G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu1573Lys. This variant was reported in individuals with Ebstein anomaly, left ventricular noncompaction, or dilated cardiomyopathy (Postma et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21127202; Table S6, Haas et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25163546; Table S3, Miszalski-Jamka et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28798025; Table S4, Verdonschot et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32880476). However, this variant was also documented in unaffected family members or control individuals (Postma et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21127202; Table S6, Park et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34542152). This variant is reported in 0.014% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/14-23885449-C-T). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
