Genes affected
MYBPC3 (HGNC:7551): (myosin binding protein C3) MYBPC3 encodes the cardiac isoform of myosin-binding protein C. Myosin-binding protein C is a myosin-associated protein found in the cross-bridge-bearing zone (C region) of A bands in striated muscle. MYBPC3 is expressed exclusively in heart muscle and is a key regulator of cardiac contraction. Mutations in this gene are a frequent cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

The MYBPC3 c.3491-2A>T variant results in a substitution at the consensus splice acceptor site, which may result in splicing defects. This variant has been reported in at least five unrelated individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25611685; PMID: 30282064; PMID: 31006259). This variant has been classified as pathogenic by at least three submitters in ClinVar. This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in version 2.1.1 or version 3.1.2 of the Genome Aggregation Database. Additionally, other substitutions at this same splice acceptor junction, such as c.3491-1G>A and c.3491-3C>G, have been reported in other patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 23283745; PMID: 30645170). Based on the available evidence, the c.3491-2A>T variant is classified as pathogenic for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. -

The 3491-2A>T variant (MYBPC3) has been identified in three individuals with HCM tested by our laboratory. This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing lea ding to an abnormal or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the MYBP C3 gene is an established disease mechanism in HCM. In summary, this variant mee ts our criteria for pathogenicity (http://pcpgm.partners.org/LMM). -

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 31 of the MYBPC3 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MYBPC3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19574547). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 23283745, 25611685, 27532257, 30282064). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42717). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
