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

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 8 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 18 uncertain in NM_000257.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the MYH7 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 341 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 16 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.9329 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 6.7889 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to myopathy, myosin storage, autosomal recessive, MYH7-related skeletal myopathy, congenital myopathy 7A, myosin storage, autosomal dominant, Ebstein anomaly, hyaline body myopathy, left ventricular noncompaction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 1, dilated cardiomyopathy 1S, dilated cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy, myopathy, myosin storage, autosomal dominant, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The p.Ala279Thr variant in MYH7 has been in 1 individual with DCM and segregated with disease in 4 affected family members (LMM data, Pugh 2014, Walsh 2017). It was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. Of note, this variant lies in the head region of the protein and missense variants in this region are statistically more likely to be disease-associated (Walsh 2017). In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM1, PM2, PP1. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 279 of the MYH7 protein (p.Ala279Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of hereditary dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 24503780, 27532257, 37652022). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43108). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MYH7 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -
