The NM_000256.3(MYBPC3):c.1591G>A (p.Gly531Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000211 (AC=34) in the gnomAD database across 1,612,338 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000335. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 7.50). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000317768: "In a functional study utilizing engineered heart tissue derived from MYBPC3 knockout cardiomyocytes, c.1591G>C p.G531R was unable to completely rescue the hypercontractile phenotype of the knockout tissue" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.G531= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1603907, 1 star); p.G531= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 164108, 2 stars); p.G531W: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 810736) The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 1 sample across 1 study and 1 cancer type; somatic enrichment level: NONE (Observed in at most one deduplicated cBioPortal case.).

Genes affected

MYBPC3 (HGNC:7551): (myosin binding protein C3) MYBPC3 encodes the cardiac isoform of myosin-binding protein C. Myosin-binding protein C is a myosin-associated protein found in the cross-bridge-bearing zone (C region) of A bands in striated muscle. MYBPC3 is expressed exclusively in heart muscle and is a key regulator of cardiac contraction. Mutations in this gene are a frequent cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Specifications for MYBPC3 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Very rare in gnomAD (popmax AF <0.01%) — O3 supporting; GnomAD effective popmax AF = 0.000033 — very rare (O3 supporting [+1])
	O6Computational evidence supports deleterious effect		Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 1 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 15.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
