Genes affected

MYOZ2 (HGNC:1330): (myozenin 2) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of sarcomeric proteins that bind to calcineurin, a phosphatase involved in calcium-dependent signal transduction in diverse cell types. These family members tether calcineurin to alpha-actinin at the z-line of the sarcomere of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells, and thus they are important for calcineurin signaling. Mutations in this gene cause cardiomyopathy familial hypertrophic type 16, a hereditary heart disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Variant summary: The MYOZ2 c.237A>G (p.Ala79Ala) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. Mutation taster predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. ESE finder predicts that this variant may not affect binding of ESE sites. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 1202/121194 control chromosomes (9 homozygotes) from ExAC, predominantly observed in the European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation at a frequency of 0.014932 (995/66636). This frequency is about 597 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic MYOZ2 variant (0.000025), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of European (Non-Finnish) origin. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories in ClinVar have classified this variant as benign. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals in literature. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -
