Description
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 862 of the MYH7 protein (p.Ala862Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs149576470, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy and/or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 22429680, 28408708, 32894683, 34935411). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36636). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MYH7 protein function. 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). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
