All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 94 in the EF-hand domain of the MYL3 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least nine unrelated individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 18409188, 23283745, 26443374, 27532257, 2938653, 29398688, 31554435, 35514357, ClinVar SCV000059672.6). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in three of the families (PMID: 26443374, ClinVar SCV000059672.6). Furthermore, one of the affected probands was found to be homozygous for a pathogenic variant in the TTR gene that could explain the clinical feature of cardiac amyloidosis observed in this individual (PMID: 31554435). This variant has been identified in 2/251298 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 94 of the MYL3 protein (p.Arg94His). This variant is present in population databases (rs199474703, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 18409188, 23283745, 26443374, 27532257, 29398688). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 31777). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Arg94His variant in MYL3 has been reported in at least 9 individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and segregated with disease in 10 affected individuals across these families (Fokstuen 2008 PMID: 19409188, Zou 2013 PMID: 23283745, Nomura 2016 PMID: 26443374, Walsh 2017 PMID: 27532257, Teramoto 2018 PMID: 29398688, LMM data). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 31777) and has been identified in 0.0009% (1/113678) of European and 0.0007% (1/134582) of Latino chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant HCM.

Variant summary: MYL3 c.281G>A (p.Arg94His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in 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 8e-06 in 251298 control chromosomes. c.281G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (e.g. Fokstuen_2008, Zou_2013, Walsh_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Four 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 pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R94H variant (also known as c.281G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the MYL3 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 281. The arginine at codon 94 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been detected in several unrelated individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and segregated with HCM in two families in which it appeared to arise from a common ancestor (Fokstuen S et al. Hum Mutat, 2008 Jun;29:879-85; Nomura A et al. J Cardiol, 2016 Feb;67:133-9; Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2017 02;19:192-203). This variant has also been seen in individuals with HCM who had variants in other cardiomyopathy-related genes (Zou Y et al. Mol Biol Rep, 2013 Jun;40:3969-76; Lopes LR et al. Amyloid, 2019 Dec;26:243-247). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
