Genes affected

MYO7A (HGNC:7606): (myosin VIIA) This gene is a member of the myosin gene family. Myosins are mechanochemical proteins characterized by the presence of a motor domain, an actin-binding domain, a neck domain that interacts with other proteins, and a tail domain that serves as an anchor. This gene encodes an unconventional myosin with a very short tail. Defects in this gene are associated with the mouse shaker-1 phenotype and the human Usher syndrome 1B which are characterized by deafness, reduced vestibular function, and (in human) retinal degeneration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.7, offset of 7, new splice context is: ggtctcgtccccggccccAGtct. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-77198493-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-77198493-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 43240.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MYO7A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8900236, 25404053). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Usher syndrome (PMID: 21873662). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43240). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 33 of the MYO7A gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
