Genes affected
MYH9 (HGNC:7579): (myosin heavy chain 9) This gene encodes a conventional non-muscle myosin; this protein should not be confused with the unconventional myosin-9a or 9b (MYO9A or MYO9B). The encoded protein is a myosin IIA heavy chain that contains an IQ domain and a myosin head-like domain which is involved in several important functions, including cytokinesis, cell motility and maintenance of cell shape. Defects in this gene have been associated with non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 17, Epstein syndrome, Alport syndrome with macrothrombocytopenia, Sebastian syndrome, Fechtner syndrome and macrothrombocytopenia with progressive sensorineural deafness.

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Asp1409Asn vari ant in MYH9 has not been reported in the literature nor previously identified by our laboratory. The variant has been seen in 0.07% (6/8600) of European America n chromosomes in a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http: //evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS; rs142486910). Computational analyses (biochemical a mino acid properties, conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) do not provi de strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, a conclus ive interpretation of the impact of this variant cannot be determined but we wou ld lean towards a more likely benign role given the presence of the variant in t he general population which is less consistent with the dominant association of mutations in this gene. -

Variant summary: MYH9 c.4225G>A (p.Asp1409Asn) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 0.0003 in 251414 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MYH9 causing Macrothrombocytopenia And Granulocyte Inclusions With Or Without Nephritis Or Sensorineural Hearing Loss, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4225G>A has been observed in individuals affected with Heritable bleeding and platelet disorders or Ovarian cancer (Westbury_2015, Adamson_2023). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Macrothrombocytopenia And Granulocyte Inclusions With Or Without Nephritis Or Sensorineural Hearing Loss. 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: 37460928, 25949529). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 164439). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The MYH9 c.4225G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asp1409Asn. This variant was reported in an individual with a heritable bleeding and platelet disorder (Table 3. Westbury et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25949529). This variant is reported in 0.049% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD, which may be too common to be a primary cause of disease. Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Benign
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 and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

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. -
