Variant summary: MYBPC3 c.2827C>T (p.Arg943X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 247124 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2827C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (e.g. Van Driest_2004, Deprez_2006, Michels_2007, Berge_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. 15 clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. (less)

The p.Arg943X variant in MYBPC3 has been reported in >25 individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and segregated with disease in 4 affected relatives in 4 families (Alders 2003 PMID: 14563344, Lekanne Deprez 2006 PMID: 16679492, Foksteun 2008 PMID: 18409188, Morita 2008 PMID: 18403758, Michels 2009 PMID: 19356534, Van Driest 2004 PMID: 15519027, Tajsharghi 2010 PMID: 19858127, Yiu 2012 PMID: 22574137, Wessels 2014 PMID: 25335496, LMM unpublished data). Several of these individuals carried an additional clinically significant variant and presented with early onset disease. This variant has been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 37039) and has also been identified in 0.006% (2/30444) of South Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 943, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the MYBPC3 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant HCM. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HCM. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PS4, PP1, PM2_supporting. (less)

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 4 (HCM; MIM#115197). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. Dominant inheritance is frequently reported in adult onset conditions, however recessive inheritance results in a more severe early onset phenotype (OMIM). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity (PMID: 32841044). (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v3) <0.001 for a dominant condition (4 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other null variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. There are at least ten pathogenic NMD-predicted variants that have been reported (DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant is a Dutch founder variant and has been classified as pathogenic by multiple diagnostic laboratories. This variant has also been reported to be compound heterozygous or homozygous in individuals with severe early-onset disease (ClinVar, PMID: 25335496). (SP) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-CMs) heterozygous for this variant demonstrated aberrant calcium signalling and prolonged relaxation kinetics compared to WT cells, with homozygous iPSC-CMs demonstrating more severe impairment (PMID: 30586709). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign (less)

The c.2827C>T (p.R943*) alteration, located in exon 27 (coding exon 27) of the MYBPC3 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2827. This changes the amino acid from a arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 943. This variant is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (3/247124) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.007% (2/30444) of South Asian alleles. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and has been reported as a Dutch founder mutation (Van Driest, 2004; Michels, 2007; Michels, 2009; Christiaans, 2010; Brito, 2012; Hathaway, 2021). This variant has been reported as occurring in the homozygous state and also with other alterations in patients with severe, early onset disease with and without other findings such as skeletal myopathy, non-compaction and congenital heart defects (Lekanne Deprez, 2006; Tajsharghi, 2010; Berge, 2014; Wessels, 2015; van Velzen, 2017). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. (less)

This variant has been reported in mutiple unrelated HCM patients in the literature (refs 1-6, below), and has also been shown to segregate with disease in multiple affected individuals in several unrelated families (Wessels et al (2015) Eur J Hum Genet 23(7)922-928). Several other clinical laboraties have also detected the variant in HCM patients referred for genetic testing (ClinVar variation ID: 37039). The variant has also been detected in control populations at a very low frequency which is compatible with the prevalence of disease (ExAC and gnomAD databases). In view of the evidence, this variant is pathogenic. - References - 1. Alders et al. (2003) Eur Heart J. 24(20):1848-53. 2. Van et al. (2004) J Am Coll Cardiol. 44(9):1903-10. 3. Christiaans et al.

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Published functional studies using cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells demonstrated this variant activates the nonsense-mediated decay pathway and results in aberrant calcium signaling and dysregulation of a set of other cardiac genes (Seeger et al., 2019); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19666645, 23674513, 25335496, 26026863, 18761664, 22569109, 28214152, 30731207, 31006259, 31918855, 31513939, 30847666, 32480058, 22574137, 16679492, 25525159, 26936621, 15519027, 19858127, 27532257, 23396983, 24510615, 22857948, 24111713, 28794111, 28396031, 28005231, 23233322, 20624503, 21839045, 19356534, 19574547, 30165862, 28797094, 29447731, 30742251, 31323898, 33673806, 32665702, 33662488, 32746448, 20505798, 30586709) (less)

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 27 of the MYBPC3 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. Functional RNA studies using cardiac tissue derived from a heterozygous carrier individual have shown that this variant causes a significant reduction in MYBPC3 mRNA levels (PMID: 33757590). This variant has been observed in over 20 unrelated individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 16679492, 20624503, 22857948, 23233322, 24111713, 25335496, 27532257, 31006259, 31513939, 33757590, 36252119, 36835444) and is considered to be a founder mutation in the Dutch population (PMID: 20505798, 28794111). This variant has been reported to cause lethal cardiomyopathy or severe neonatal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in individuals who were homozygous or compound heterozygous with another pathogenic mutation (PMID: 16679492, 24111713, 25335496, 30742251, 36178741). It has also been reported in two individuals affected with left ventricular noncompaction who both carried an additional different pathogenic variant (PMID: 31918855, 37963751), and in one individual affected with atrioventricular block (PMID: 35470684). This variant has been identified in 3/247124 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MYBPC3 function is a known mechanism of disease. Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. (less)

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg943*) in the MYBPC3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MYBPC3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19574547). This variant is present in population databases (rs387907267, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 19574547, 20505798, 20624503, 22574137, 22857948, 23233322, 24111713, 25335496). It is commonly reported in individuals of Dutch ancestry (PMID: 19574547, 20505798, 20624503, 22574137, 22857948, 23233322, 24111713, 25335496). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37039). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. (less)

NM_000256.3(MYBPC3):c.2827C>T (p.Arg943*) introduces a premature termination codon predicted to result in loss of normal protein function. Loss-of-function is an established mechanism of disease for this gene. This variant has been observed in affected individuals with related phenotype in a genotype context consistent with recessive disease (PMID: 33049255; PMID: 16679492; PMID: 20624503; PMID: 22857948; PMID: 23233322). This variant has been recurrently observed in individuals with related phenotype (PMID: 33049255; PMID: 16679492; PMID: 20624503; PMID: 22857948; PMID: 23233322). The variant is present at low frequency in population datasets. Based on the available data, this variant is classified as pathogenic. (less)

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000037039 /PMID: 14563344 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. (less)

In a female infant with fatal cardiomyopathy (CMH4; 115197) who also had evidence of skeletal myopathy, Tajsharghi et al. (2010) identified homozygosity for a 2827C-T transition, resulting in an arg943-to-ter (R943X) substitution in the MYBPC3 gene. Skeletal muscle biopsy at 2 months of age showed pronounced myopathic changes with numerous small fibers, which all expressed slow/beta-cardiac myosin heavy chain protein (MYH7; 160760). Electron microscopy revealed disorganization of the sarcomeres and partial depletion of thick filaments in the small fibers; immunohistochemical staining showed the presence of cardiac MYBPC in the small abnormal fibers. RT-PCR and sequencing demonstrated the mutation in transcripts of skeletal muscle. Tajsharghi et al. (2010) noted that cardiac MYBPC is not normally expressed in skeletal muscle, and stated that the reason for the ectopic expression of cardiac MYBPC remained unknown. The R943X mutation had previously been identified in compound heterozygosity with other truncating MYBPC3 mutations in 2 unrelated Dutch infants with fatal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Lekanne Deprez et al., 2006); skeletal myopathy was not mentioned in that report.

This date represents the last time this VCV record was updated. The update may be due to an update to one of the included submitted records (SCVs), or due to an update that ClinVar made to the variant such as adding HGVS expressions or a rs number. So this date may be different from the date of the “most recent submission” reported at the top of this page.
