Description
The p.E924K pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2770G>A), located in coding exon 21 of the MYH7 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2770. The glutamic acid at codon 924 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported across ethnicities in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), including at least two de novo cases (Watkins H et al. J. Clin. Invest., 1992 Nov;90:1666-71; Morita H et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2008 May;358:1899-908; Fokstuen S et al. Hum. Mutat., 2008 Jun;29:879-85; Santos S et al. BMC Med. Genet., 2012 Mar;13:17). Segregation with disease in affected family members has also been described (Watkins H et al. J. Clin. Invest., 1992 Nov;90:1666-71; Liu WL et al. Zhonghua Xin Xue Guan Bing Za Zhi, 2006 Mar;34:202-7). Additionally, this alteration has been reported in HCM cohorts, although clinical details were limited (Kapplinger JD et al. J Cardiovasc Transl Res. 2014;7(3):347-61; Lopes LR et al. Heart, 2015 Feb;101:294-301; Walsh R et al. Genet. Med., 2017 Feb;19:192-203). Functional studies in rat cardiomyocytes have shown no apparent structural changes, but total loss of MyBP-C binding was observed (Gruen M. J. Mol. Biol. 1999 Feb;286:933-949). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
