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]

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 787 of the MYH7 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 18403758, 22765922, 27532257). It has also been reported in an individual affected with neuromuscular disease (PMID: 34888877). This variant has also been identified in 18/282860 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 787 of the MYH7 protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant's impact on protein structure and function is inconclusive. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in five individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 18403758, 22765922, 27532257). It has also been reported in one individual affected with neuromuscular disease (PMID: 34888877). This variant has also been identified in 18/282860 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

The p.Arg787Cys variant in MYH7 has been identified in 5 individuals with HCM (G arcia-Castro 2009, Coto 2012, Walsh 2017), 1 child with HCM, who also carried th e p.Arg97Cys variant in ACTC (Morita 2008), 1 adult with premature atrial contr actions (Ng 2013), and in 1 adult with ARVC, who carried another likely disease causing variant (LMM data). This variant has also been identified in 11/126688 E uropean chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.br oadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs145677314). Arginine (Arg) at position 787 is not wel l conserved in mammals or evolutionarily distant species and the change to cyste ine (Cys) is present in 2 mammals (megabat and black flying fox). Additional com putational prediction tools do not provide strong support for or against an impa ct to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg787Cys vari ant is uncertain. -

Variant summary: MYH7 c.2359C>T (p.Arg787Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 251470 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MYH7 causing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (5.6e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2359C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy without strong evidence of causality (e.g. Morita_2008, Garcia-Castro_2009, Coto_2012, Gomez_2017, Walsh_2017, Kurzlechner_2022, McGurk_2023). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. 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: 18403758, 19150014, 27532257, 22765922, 28356264, 35629155, 37652022). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161327). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 787 of the MYH7 protein (p.Arg787Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs145677314, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 18403758, 22765922, 27532257). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161327). 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 (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C65"). This variant is found within a region of MYH7 between codons 181 and 937 that contains the majority of the myosin head domain. Missense variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257). 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. -

The p.R787C variant (also known as c.2359C>T), located in coding exon 19 of the MYH7 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2359. The arginine at codon 787 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration is located in the myosin head domain, which contains a statistically significant clustering of pathogenic missense variants (Homburger JR et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 06;113:6701-6; Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2017 02;19:192-203; Ambry internal data). This variant has been reported in individual(s) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) cohorts, but clinical details were limited (Garc&iacute;a-Castro M et al. Rev Esp Cardiol, 2009 Jan;62:48-56; Tsoutsman T et al. Clin. Exp. Pharmacol. Physiol., 2008 Nov;35:1349-57; Coto E et al. J Mol Diagn, 2012 Sep;14:518-24; Walsh R et al. Genet. Med., 2017 02;19:192-203). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
