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]

Variant summary: MYH7 c.2945T>C (p.Met982Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Myosin tail domain (IPR002928) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00085 in 253160 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0014 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is slightly higher than (approximately 1.12-fold) the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MYH7 causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.0013). c.2945T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy, but also in controls, including in one family where the variant did not segregate with disease (e.g. Clemente_2017). Furthermore, the variant has been reported in multiple affected individuals that carried other pathogenic variants, including MYBPC3 c.1504C>T, p.Arg502Trp; MYBPC3 c.2157_2158delTG, p.Cys719X; MYBPC3, p.Val219Phe, providing supporting evidence for a benign role (e.g. Millat_Clinica Chimica Acta_2010, Millat_EJMG_2010, Ho_2010). 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: 26743238, 21499742, 23426552, 23299917, 24111713, 22958901, 28265379, 25524337, 21511876, 25163546, 20031602, 30775854, 23396983, 24119082, 20800588, 20624503, 16754800, 31006259, 24503780, 28193612, 23349452). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42941). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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

Note this variant was found in clinical genetic testing performed by one or more labs who may also submit to ClinVar. Thus any internal case data may overlap with the internal case data of other labs. The interpretation reviewed below is that of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. p.Met982Thr (c.2945 T>C) in the MYH7 gene [NM_00257.2]. This variant has been reported in at least three individuals with HCM (two of which had an additional sarcomeric variant identified), 2-3 unrelated individuals with abnormal echocardiograms ascertained in the Framingham study, two individuals with DCM, and multiple individuals tested for cardiomyopathy at the testing lab (many with another variant considered pathogenic). Millat et al (2010) observed p.Met982Thr in two unrelated individuals with HCM, however, both of them had an additional variant in a sarcomere gene so the authors noted they could not rule out this variant as a rare benign variant. Morita et al (2006) looked for variants in genes associate with cardiomyopathy in individuals from the Framingham Heart Study who had LVWT > 13 mm and did not have hypertension. They observed p.Met982Thr in one of those individuals. Of note, they only found sarcomeric variants in 16% of this sample, this is lower than the ~40% yield that would be expected with the genes they examined and a sample of HCM patients. This would suggest that many individuals in this sample do not truly have HCM. They then looked for the variants they had identified in the first sample in a randomly collected sample of the Framingham Heart Study Offspring participants and identified p.Met982Thr in two reportedly unrelated individuals (unclear if one of them could be related to the first individual). The authors reported that one individual had an echocardiographic pattern consistent with "burnt out" cardiac hypertrophy with a dilated left ventricle (LV diastolic diameter >56 mm) and enlarged atrium, whereas the other had a mildly enlarged left atrium and ECG voltages suggestive of HCM. Both individuals were reported to normotensive. Mestroni et al (2010) in an ACC poster abstract reported this mutation in one individual with dilated cardiomyopathy from a DCM registry comprised of patients from Italy and the US. I also found a poster online from a German group that reported the variant in a patient with DCM (Waldmuller et al; their cohort seems to unique from the Mestroni et al cohort). In addition, I found a Spanish language online publication that appears to report the variant in an individual with HCM. Finally, this variant was identified in a recent paper from Gruner et al. 2011 in a patient with apical HCM. In this study, the authors screened 429 HCM probands for mutations in one of eleven genes associated with HCM (their panel included 8 sarcomere protein genes and 3 other genes (GLA, PRKAG2, and LAMP2)). This particular variant was identified in a male with apical HCM diagnosed at 18 years of age. The authors do not provide any specific details about the variant or control data. This proband reportedly had a family history of HCM; however the authors provided no specific details or segregation analysis, and defined “family history” as either documented evidence of HCM or by “highly convincing patient report”. No other variants have been reported in association with cardiomyopathy at codon 982 or nearby residues. The change is chemically non-conservative from a non-polar amino acid to a polar amino acid. The methionine at residue 982 is completely conserved across species, as are neighboring amino acids. In terms of in silico analysis, Polyphen predicts this variant to be probably damaging and Mutation Taster predicts this variant to be disease causing. In total, this particular variant has been seen in 22 of 7,003 published controls, laboratory controls, and publically available general population datasets. Morita et al. (2006) did not identify the variant in 300 presumably healthy co -
