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]

Reported in the heterozygous state in unrelated patients with Usher syndrome and/or hearing loss in published literature; of note, clinical information was limited for both patients (PMID: 29625443, 30896630, 38456936); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23226338, 29625443, 26338283, 30896630, 38456936, 34599366) -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Gln188Glu variant in MYO7A has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or Usher syndrome, but it has been identified in 0.1% (6/8624 ) of East Asian chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://ex ac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs572959359); however, its frequency is not high en ough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational prediction tools and conservat ion analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this infor mation is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clin ical significance of the p.Gln188Glu variant is uncertain. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
