Genes affected

MYO7A (HGNC:7606): (myosin VIIA) This gene is a member of the myosin gene family. Myosins are mechanochemical proteins characterized by the presence of a motor domain, an actin-binding domain, a neck domain that interacts with other proteins, and a tail domain that serves as an anchor. This gene encodes an unconventional myosin with a very short tail. Defects in this gene are associated with the mouse shaker-1 phenotype and the human Usher syndrome 1B which are characterized by deafness, reduced vestibular function, and (in human) retinal degeneration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Cys635Arg variant in MYO7A has been reported in 5 homozygous individuals with hearing loss and retinal dysfunction (Neuhaus 2017 PMID: 28944237, Kletke 2017 PMID: 27743452, LMM data, GeneDx pers. comm.). It was absent from large population studies. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 179146). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3, PM2_Supporting, PP3. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 635 of the MYO7A protein (p.Cys635Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Usher syndrome type 1 (PMID: 27743452). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179146). 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 MYO7A protein function. 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. -

Variant summary: MYO7A c.1903T>C (p.Cys635Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Myosin head, motor domain (IPR001609) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 155584 control chromosomes. c.1903T>C has been reported in the literature in homozygous individuals affected with Autosomal Recessive Usher Syndrome (Kletke_2017, Neuhaus_2017). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27743452, 28944237). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179146). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
