Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000257.4(MYH7):c.511A>C (p.Asn171His) variant has been identified in 1 individual with HCM (GeneDx pers. comm.), however, this data is insufficient to apply the PS4 criterion. This variant was absent from large population studies (PM2; gnomAD v2.1.1, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein (PP3). In summary, due to insufficient evidence, this variant is classified as uncertain significance for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in an autosomal dominant manner. MYH7-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied (Kelly 2018 PMID:29300372): PM2, PP3. LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA015706/MONDO:0005045/002

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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 171 of the MYH7 protein (p.Asn171His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MYH7-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181310). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
