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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Gln163X var iant in MYH7 has not been reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy or in larg e population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination cod on at position 163, 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 rar e and therefore, their phenotypic spectrum is unknown. In summary, this variant severely impacts the protein but additional data is needed to determine its clin ical significance. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 5 of the MYH7 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Clinical relevance of loss-of-function MYH7 truncation variants in autosomal dominant cardiovascular disorders is not clearly established. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179639). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MYH7-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln163*) in the MYH7 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in MYH7 cause disease. -

The p.Q163* variant (also known as c.487C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the MYH7 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 487. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This alteration is expected to result in protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of MYH7 has not been established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
