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]
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]

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1
Jan 02, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1760 of the MYH7 protein (p.Thr1760Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs727505294, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 18409188, 20513729). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 180024). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MYH7 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Thr1760 amino acid residue in MYH7. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18409188, 20513729; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The Thr1760Met variant in MYH7 has been reported in 2 Caucasian individuals with HCM and segregated with disease in 1 affected relative; however, 6 affected mem bers from the same family did not carry this variant (Fokstuen 2008, Calore 2011 ). It was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools a nd conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the Thr1760Met variant is uncertain due to conflicting evidence. -

Cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces threonine with methionine at codon 1760 of the MYH7 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 18409188, 20513729, 32004434). In one family, some of these individuals also carried a variant in the MYL2 gene that segregated with disease (PMID: 32004434). This variant has been identified in 5/282882 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); 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: 20513729, 31475041, 34426522, 32004434, 18409188, 36264615, 33495597) -

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

The p.T1760M variant (also known as c.5279C>T), located in coding exon 34 of the MYH7 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5279. The threonine at codon 1760 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) cohorts (Fokstuen S et al. Hum Mutat, 2008 Jun;29:879-85; Melacini P et al. Int J Cardiol, 2008 Aug;128:364-73; De Bortoli M et al. Circ Genom Precis Med, 2020 Apr;13:e002824; Harper AR et al. Nat Genet, 2021 Feb;53:135-142). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
