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.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:3
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineSep 30, 2011The 3815-1G>A variant has not been previously reported or been identified by our laboratory. This variant is predicted to cause abnormal splicing because the nu cleotide substitution occurs in the highly conserved splice consensus sequence. Pathogenic splice variants in MYBPC3 are common in patients with HCM, which sup ports a disease causing role. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 30, 2025This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 33 of the MYBPC3 gene. While this variant is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs397516044, gnomAD 0.007%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25611685, 27532257, 33673806, 37652022; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42746). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). 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. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthMay 14, 2024This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the -1 position of intron 33 of the MYBPC3 gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. The mutant transcript is expected to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a protein product containing altered C-terminal sequence. To our knowledge, protein functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least fourteen individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy including an affected family member (PMID: 25611685, 27532257, 33495596, 33495597, 33663232, 33673806; communication with external laboratories: ClinVar SCV000739990.4, SCV000208208.11). This variant has been identified in 1/242650 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Primary familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:3
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingBlueprint GeneticsDec 07, 2015- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 23, 2024Variant summary: MYBPC3 c.3815-1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: four predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant is located in intron 33, and the potentially skipped penultimate exon (exon 34) only encodes the last 3 amino acids of the protein, thus the protein level effect of this variant is unclear. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 242650 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3815-1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (e.g. Alfares_2015, Walsh_2017, Tadros_2021, Harper_2021, Hathaway_2021, Schafer_2021, McGurk_2023). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42746). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25611685, 27532257, 33495596, 33495597, 33673806, 33663232, 37652022). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 4 Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingClinical Genomics Laboratory, Stanford MedicineSep 02, 2022The c.3815-1G>A variant in the MYBPC3 gene has been previously reported in 3 unrelated individuals with HCM (Alfares et al., 2015; Walsh et al., 2017; Hathaway et al., 2021). This variant has also been identified in 1/14604 African/African American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID: 42746). This variant alters the canonical acceptor splice site in intron 32, which is predicted to result in abnormal gene splicing. Heterozygous loss of function is an established mechanism of disease for the MYBPC3 gene.These data were assessed using the ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines. In summary, there is sufficient evidence to classify the c.38151G>A variant as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy based on the information above.

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 01, 2021The c.3815-1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 34 of the MYBPC3 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the MYBPC3 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay, and results in a frameshift that is predicted to impact only the last 3 amino acids of the native protein, although it is also expected to elongate the translated protein. The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown. This variant has been identified in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) (Alfares AA et al. Genet Med, 2015 Nov;17:880-8; Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2017 02;19:192-203; Ambry internal data). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
