Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM3_StrongPM5PP1PP4PP3PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The allele frequency of the p.Arg1873Gln variant in the MYO7A gene is 0.008% (2/24854) of European chromosomes by gnomAD, which is a low enough frequency to apply PM2_Supporting based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been detected in 2 probands with hearing loss and 2 probands with Usher syndrome. For 2 of those probands, a pathogenic or suspected-pathogenic variant was observed in trans, for 1 proband a pathogenic or suspected-pathogenic was suspected in trans, and for 1 of the probands, a rare variant of uncertain significance was observed in trans (PM3_Strong; PMID:23208854, 28000701, 29196752, Partners LMM internal data SCV000059849.6). The variant has been reported to segregate with hearing loss in one affected family member (PP1, Partners LMM internal data SCV000059849.6). A different pathogenic missense variant (p.Arg1873Trp) has been previously identified at this codon of MYO7A which may indicate that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (PM5; p.Arg1873Trp ClinVar Variation ID 43291). The REVEL computational prediction analysis tool produced a score of 0.936, which is above the threshold necessary to apply PP3. At least one of the above patients with the variant in this gene displayed features of Usher syndrome (PP4; Partners LMM internal data SCV000059849.6). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PM3_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PM5, PP1, PP3, PP4.

Genes affected
MYO7A (HGNC:7606): (myosin VIIA) This gene is a member of the myosin gene family. Myosins are mechanochemical proteins characterized by the presence of a motor domain, an actin-binding domain, a neck domain that interacts with other proteins, and a tail domain that serves as an anchor. This gene encodes an unconventional myosin with a very short tail. Defects in this gene are associated with the mouse shaker-1 phenotype and the human Usher syndrome 1B which are characterized by deafness, reduced vestibular function, and (in human) retinal degeneration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1873 of the MYO7A protein (p.Arg1873Gln). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness (PMID: 23208854, 27068579; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as p.Arg1835Gln. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43292). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MYO7A protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg1873 amino acid residue in MYO7A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16679490, 28472130). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The allele frequency of the p.Arg1873Gln variant in the MYO7A gene is 0.008% (2/24854) of European chromosomes by gnomAD, which is a low enough frequency to apply PM2_Supporting based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been detected in 2 probands with hearing loss and 2 probands with Usher syndrome. For 2 of those probands, a pathogenic or suspected-pathogenic variant was observed in trans, for 1 proband a pathogenic or suspected-pathogenic was suspected in trans, and for 1 of the probands, a rare variant of uncertain significance was observed in trans (PM3_Strong; PMID:23208854, 28000701, 29196752, Partners LMM internal data SCV000059849.6). The variant has been reported to segregate with hearing loss in one affected family member (PP1, Partners LMM internal data SCV000059849.6). A different pathogenic missense variant (p.Arg1873Trp) has been previously identified at this codon of MYO7A which may indicate that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (PM5; p.Arg1873Trp ClinVar Variation ID 43291). The REVEL computational prediction analysis tool produced a score of 0.936, which is above the threshold necessary to apply PP3. At least one of the above patients with the variant in this gene displayed features of Usher syndrome (PP4; Partners LMM internal data SCV000059849.6). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PM3_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PM5, PP1, PP3, PP4.

The Arg1873Gln variant in MYO7A has been identified in one proband with Usher ty pe I (Cremers 2007). In addition, this residue is highly conserved across evolut ionary distant species and computational analyses (PolyPhen2, SIFT) suggest that the variant may impact the protein. Furthermore, a different variant at the sam e position, Arg1873Trp, has been reported in five probands with Usher syndrome T ype 1 and is classified as pathogenic. In summary, the Arg1873Gln variant is lik ely pathogenic.
