Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP2BS3_SupportingBS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The filtering allele frequency of the c.905G>A (p.Arg302His) variant in the MYO7A gene is 0.4% for European chromosomes by gnomAD (587/126276 with 95% CI), which is a high enough frequency to be classified as likely benign based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss variants (BS1). While this variant has been reported in several individuals with Usher syndrome, in 2 individuals it was identified in cis with another pathogenic MYO7A variant (BP2; PMID 8900236). This variant has also been reported in at least 2 additional individuals with Usher syndrome who had alternate genetic etiologies identified (PMID:25468891). In addition, in vitro functional evidence from one study suggests that the Arg302His variant had little effect on motor activity of MYO7A (BS3_Supporting PMID:18700726). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel : BS1, BP2, BS3_Supporting.

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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The filtering allele frequency of the c.905G>A (p.Arg302His) variant in the MYO7A gene is 0.4% for European chromosomes by gnomAD (587/126276 with 95% CI), which is a high enough frequency to be classified as likely benign based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss variants (BS1). While this variant has been reported in several individuals with Usher syndrome, in 2 individuals it was identified in cis with another pathogenic MYO7A variant (BP2; PMID 8900236). This variant has also been reported in at least 2 additional individuals with Usher syndrome who had alternate genetic etiologies identified (PMID: 25468891). In addition, in vitro functional evidence from one study suggests that the Arg302His variant had little effect on motor activity of MYO7A (BS3_Supporting PMID: 18700726). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel : BS1, BP2, BS3_Supporting. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
