Description
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 403 of the MYH7 protein (p.Arg403Trp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 8254035, 18029407). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14102). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MYH7 function (PMID: 10882745, 15010274). This variant disrupts the p.Arg403 amino acid residue in MYH7. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1638703, 1975517, 12975413, 23751935). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
