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]

ENSG00000258444 (HGNC:):

MHRT (HGNC:51291): (myosin heavy chain associated RNA transcript) This gene encodes a spliced long non-coding RNA that may act as a cardioprotective agent in the heart. Based on a study of a similar gene in mouse, the encoded transcript may regulate chromatin remodeling by acting as a decoy to the BRG1 chromatin repressor complex thus preventing it from binding to its genomic targets. Blocking the actions of BRG1 could be crucial in protecting the heart from pathological hypertrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Gln1704X va riant in MYH7 has not been reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy or in lar ge European American and African American populations (NHLBI exome sequencing pr oject). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1704, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. It should be noted that loss of function variants in the MYH7 gene are very rare and therefo re, their phenotypic spectrum is unknown. In the few reported cases with MYH7 no nsense variants, all were present in trans along with another MYH7 variant in a severely affected, young individual and in all cases the nonsense variant was in herited from an unaffected parent, suggesting that heterozygous loss of function of MYH7 may not be disease causing (Houghs 2005, Nishi 1995, LMM unpublished da ta). In summary, although this variant severely impacts the protein, additional studies are needed to fully assess its clinical significance. -

p.Gln1704Stop (CAG>TAG): c.5110 C>T in exon 35 of the MYH7 gene (NM_000257.2). The Gln1704Stop variant in the MYH7 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Gln1704Stop is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either by protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although nonsense mutations in the MYH7 gene have been reported in association with cardiomyopathy, the vast majority of mutations in MYH7 are missense changes. Furthermore, various studies have conflicting hypotheses regarding MYH7 haploinsufficiency leading to cardiomyopathy (Nishi H et al., 1995; Waldmuller S et al., 2011). With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Gln1704Stop is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in DCM panel(s). -
