Genes affected

MYH7 (HGNC:7577): (myosin heavy chain 7) Muscle myosin is a hexameric protein containing 2 heavy chain subunits, 2 alkali light chain subunits, and 2 regulatory light chain subunits. This gene encodes the beta (or slow) heavy chain subunit of cardiac myosin. It is expressed predominantly in normal human ventricle. It is also expressed in skeletal muscle tissues rich in slow-twitch type I muscle fibers. Changes in the relative abundance of this protein and the alpha (or fast) heavy subunit of cardiac myosin correlate with the contractile velocity of cardiac muscle. Its expression is also altered during thyroid hormone depletion and hemodynamic overloading. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myosin storage myopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and Laing distal myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Cardiomyopathy Uncertain:2

Sep 01, 2023

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 21 of the MYH7 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with acute myocarditis (PMID: 34368507). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Clinical relevance of loss-of-function MYH7 truncation variants in autosomal dominant cardiovascular disorders is not clearly established. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: MYH7 c.2377C>T (p.Arg793X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, however current evidence is not sufficient to establish loss of function as a mechanism for disease. The variant was absent in 251466 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2377C>T has been observed in individual(s) affected with Acute Myocarditis( Kontorovich_2021) without evidence for causality. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34368507). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 574743). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1

May 02, 2022

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg793*) in the MYH7 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in MYH7 cause disease. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 574743). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MYH7-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R793* variant (also known as c.2377C>T), located in coding exon 19 of the MYH7 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2377. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 19. This alteration is expected to result in premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of MYH7 has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

MYH7-related disorder Uncertain:1

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MYH7 c.2377C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg793*). This variant has been reported in an individual with acute myocarditis (Kontorovich et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34368507). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
