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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 03, 2020	Variant summary: MYH7 c.5559+4C>T alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.7e-05 in 277054 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in MYH7 causing Cardiomyopathy (4.7e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.5559+4C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Zimmerman_2010, Lopes_2015). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (1x) and likely benign (2x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change falls in intron 37 of the MYH7 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MYH7 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs727504319, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25351510). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 177782). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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. -

The c.5559+4C>T intronic variant results from a C to T substitution 4 nucleotides after coding exon 35 in the MYH7 gene. This alteration has been reported in a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) cohort; however, clinical details were limited (Lopes LR et al. Heart, 2015 Feb;101:294-301). This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will not have any significant effect on splicing. Based on available evidence to date, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
