Description
The p.R1053Q pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3158G>A), located in coding exon 23 of the MYH7 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3158. The arginine at codon 1053 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in numerous individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), including segregating with disease in one family (Kärkkäinen S, Eur. J. Heart Fail. 2004 Dec; 6(7):861-8; Millat G et al. Eur J Med Genet Jul;53:261-7; Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2017 02;19:192-203; Kelly MA et al. Genet Med, 2018 03;20:351-359; Jääskeläinen P et al. ESC Heart Fail, 2019 Apr;6:436-445; Marschall C et al. Cardiovasc Diagn Ther, 2019 Oct;9:S292-S298; Costain G et al. JAMA Netw Open, 2020 09;3:e2018109; Yoshinaga M et al. Circ J, 2021 12;86:118-127; Hathaway J et al. BMC Cardiovasc Disord, 2021 03;21:126). This alteration has also been described as a founder mutation in a Finnish HCM cohort, accounting for approximately 5-8% of MYH7 variants detected (Jääskeläinen P et al. Ann. Med., 2014 Sep;46:424-9; Jääskeläinen P et al. ESC Heart Fail, 2019 Apr;6:436-445). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
