Genes affected

MYH8 (HGNC:7578): (myosin heavy chain 8) Myosins are actin-based motor proteins that function in the generation of mechanical force in eukaryotic cells. Muscle myosins are heterohexamers composed of 2 myosin heavy chains and 2 pairs of nonidentical myosin light chains. This gene encodes a member of the class II or conventional myosin heavy chains, and functions in skeletal muscle contraction. This gene is predominantly expressed in fetal skeletal muscle. This gene is found in a cluster of myosin heavy chain genes on chromosome 17. A mutation in this gene results in trismus-pseudocamptodactyly syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

MYHAS (HGNC:50609): (myosin heavy chain gene cluster antisense RNA) Predicted to enable primary miRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in response to muscle activity and skeletal muscle fiber development. Predicted to act upstream of or within with a positive effect on gene expression. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -7 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.46).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.786 with no splicing effect.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 6 AD gene.

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. -
