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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.033918735 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.4, offset of 30, new splice context is: ccctggcccacgcactgcAGtcg. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1

Jan 14, 2022

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.3973-2A>T variant in MYH7 has been identified in an infant with dilated cardiomyopathy and possible left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and in their sister (5 years old) with LVNC (LMM data). It was absent from large population studies. This variant occurs within the canonical splice site (+/- 1,2) and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. The contribution of loss of function variants in the MYH7 gene to autosomal dominant cardiomyopathy is not well established. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain for autosomal dominant DCM. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_Moderate, PM2_Supporting. -

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42984). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MYH7-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 29 of the MYH7 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), however the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in MYH7 cause disease. -
