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]

This MYH7 His576Arg variant has previously been observed in unrelated HCM cases (Perrot et al., 2005; Michels et al., 2009; van der Werf et al., 2010; Berge & Leren, 2014; Alfares et al., 2015). Segregation data is limited, however, Michels M, et al. (2009) identified this variant in one HCM index case as well as one family member that fulfilled diagnostic criteria for HCM. Van der Werf C, et al. (2010) identified MYH7 His576Arg in a HCM family with a sudden unexplained death event (note:this family also carries a known pathogenic TNNT2 Arg102Trp variant). We have identified MYH7 His576Arg in one HCM proband with no family history of disease. Genetic analysis of parental samples reveal the presence of the variant in the mother, who is hypertensive and has mild concentric hypertrophy and does not meet the diagnostic criteria for HCM. This variant is present in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/), at an allele frequency of 0.000018. In a large HCM population study Walsh et al., showed that MYH7 variants identified in HCM cases were found to cluster between amino acids 181- 937 (2017), this implies that variants in this region are likely to cause a HCM phenotype. In silico tools SIFT, PolyPhen-2 and MutationTaster predict this variant to be deleterious. Based on the adapted ACMG criteria (Kelly MA, et al., 2018) this variant is located in a mutational hotspot (PM1), is rare in the general population (PM2), has been reported in at least 6 HCM probands (PS4_Moderate) and multiple in silico tools predict this variant to have a deleterious affect (PP3), therefore we classify MYH7 His576Arg as "likely pathogenic". -

This missense variant replaces histidine with arginine at codon 576 of the MYH7 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. This variant is found within a highly conserved region of the myosin head domain. Missense variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in more than 10 individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 15856146, 19666645, 20646679, 24111713, 27247418, 27532257, 2840870, 28615295, 30847666, 33673806, 34542152; van der Werf 2010, dissertation, University of Virginia), and in an individual affected with an unspecified cardiomyopathy (PMID: 33764162). This variant has been identified in 5/282858 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

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

The p.His576Arg variant in MYH7 has been reported in at least 8 individuals and 1 family member with HCM (Perrot 2005, Michels 2009, Van der Werf 2010, Homburger 2016, LMM data). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 177625) and has been identified in 0.004% (1/24950) of African chromosomes and 0.003% (4/126704) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org;). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In addition, 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 2016). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.His576Arg variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant HCM.

The p.H576R variant (also known as c.1727A>G), located in coding exon 14 of the MYH7 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1727. The histidine at codon 576 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration is located in the myosin head domain, which contains a statistically significant clustering of pathogenic missense variants (Homburger JR et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 06;113:6701-6; Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2017 02;19:192-203; Ambry internal data). This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Perrot A et al. J. Mol. Med., 2005 Jun;83:468-77; Michels M et al. Eur. Heart J., 2009 Nov;30:2593-8; van der Werf C et al. Heart Rhythm, 2010 Oct;7:1383-9; Berge KE et al. Clin. Genet., 2014 Oct;86:355-60; Walsh R et al. Genet. Med., 2017 02;19:192-203). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
