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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Arg281Thr variant in the MYH7 gene has been reported in a large family with noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium (NVM). Budde B et al. (2007) reported that the Arg281Thr variant co-segregated with a noncompaction phenotype in the family with high clinical variability. Arg281Thr occurs in a conserved region of the protein, and in silico programs predict the variant destabilizes the myosin head. In many individuals in the family, other heart defects were seen along with noncompaction, including Ebstein's anomaly. Furthermore, the NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports Arg281Thr was not observed in approximately 6,500 samples from individuals of European and African America backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Based on currently available evidence, R281T is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. However, the possibility it is a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Arg281Thr variant in MYH7 has been reported in 1 German individual with LV NC, Ebstein's anomaly and ASD, and segregated with disease in 10 affected relati ves (Budde 2007). This variant has also been identified in 1 individual with HCM (Waldmuller 2008), and was absent from large population studies. Arginine (Arg) at position 281 is highly conserved in evolution, and the change to threonine ( Thr) was predicted to be pathogenic using a computational tool clinically valida ted by our laboratory. This tool's pathogenic prediction is estimated to be corr ect 94% of the time (Jordan 2011). In summary, this variant meets our criteria t o be classified as pathogenic (http://www.partners.org/personalizedmedicine/LMM) based upon segregation studies and absence from controls. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is found within a region of MYH7 between codons 181 and 937 that contains the majority of the myosin head domain. Missense variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181327). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium (PMID: 18159245). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 281 of the MYH7 protein (p.Arg281Thr). -

The p.R281T variant (also known as c.842G>C), located in coding exon 8 of the MYH7 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 842. The arginine at codon 281 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant arose de novo in one individual with left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) and segregated with LVNC with variable expression in the proband's descendants, some of whom also had Ebstein's anomaly and/or septal defects (Budde BS et al. PLoS ONE, 2007 Dec;2:e1362). This variant has been reported in other individuals with LVNC (Mazzarotto F et al. Genet Med, 2021 May;23:856-864; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
