Description

The p.Asp239Asn variant in MYH7 has been identified in at least 15 individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and segregated with disease in 7 affected relatives (Iascone 2007 PMID: 17438619, Kaski 2009 PMID: 20031618, Garcia-Pavia 2011 PMID: 21896538, Homburger 2016 PMID: 27247418, Adler 2016 PMID: 26743238, Murphy 2016 PMID: 26914223, Walsh 2017 PMID: 27532257, Ross 2017 PMID: 28615295, LMM data). It has also been identified in 1/34592 of Latino chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.2.1.1). An in vitro functional study supports an impact on protein function (Adhikari 2016 PMID: 27974200). Of note, this variant lies in the head region of the protein and missense variants in this region are statistically more likely to be disease-associated (Walsh 2017 PMID: 27532257). Additionally, this variant was classified as likely pathogenic by the ClinGen-approved cardiomyopathy variant curation expert panel (Variation ID: 43100). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HCM. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4, PM1, PM2_Supporting, PP1_Strong, PS3_Supporting.

Description

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 239 of the MYH7 protein (p.Asp239Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs397516264, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with inherited arrhythmia and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20031618, 21896538, 26743238, 26914223, 27247418, 27532257). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43100). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MYH7 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MYH7 function (PMID: 27974200). 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). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

The c.715G>A (p.Asp239Asn) variant in MYH7 has been identified in at least 13 individuals with HCM (PS4_Moderate; Iascone 2007 PMID:17438619; Kaski 2009 PMID:20031618; Garcia-Pavia 2011 PMID:21896538; Murphy 2016 PMID:26914223; Homburger 2016 PMID:27247418; Walsh 2017 PMID:27532257; Ingles 2017 PMID:28408708) and segregated with HCM in 5 affected individuals from 4 families (PP1_Moderate; Iascone 2007 PMID:17438619; Garcia-Pavia 2011 PMID:21896538; LMM ClinVar SCV000059647.6 and pers comm). This variant has been identified in 0.003% (1/34592) of Latino chromosomes but is absent from all other populations in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant lies in the head region of the protein (aa 181-937) and missense variants in this region are statistically more likely to be disease-associated (PM1; Walsh 2017 PMID:27532257). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis were mixed about the potential impact of this variant. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in an autosomal dominant manner. MYH7-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied (Kelly 2018 PMID:29300372): PS4_Moderate; PP1_Moderate; PM2; PM1
