ClinVar Genomic variation as it relates to human health

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 921 of the MYH7 protein (p.Glu921Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs779467831, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MYH7-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 834192). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Glu921 amino acid residue in MYH7. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15358028, 22429680, 29121657). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with alanine at codon 921 of the MYH7 protein. This variant is found within a highly conserved region of the myosin head domain. Missense variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MYH7-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/251484 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

The p.E921A variant (also known as c.2762A>C), located in coding exon 21 of the MYH7 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 2762. The glutamic acid at codon 921 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
