Description
The c.1817 G>A (NM_000260.4(MYO7A):c.1817G>A (p.Arg606His)) variant in MYO7A is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Arginine by Histidine at amino acid 606. The highest major allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00035 (0.035 % or 8/23092 alleles) in the South Asian population (PM2_supporting, BS1, and BA1 not met). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.832, (which is above the threshold of 0.7), evidence that correlates with impact to MYO7A function (PP3). This variant has been detected in at least one individual with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss. This proband was compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic variant, confirmed in trans by parental testing (PM3; 1.0 point; LMM Internal Data). The patient with this variant displayed moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss, although no vision anomalies or difficulty seeing at night were noted (PP4 not met; LMM Internal Data). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as uncertain significance for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic genetic deafness, based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Hearing Loss VCEP: (PP3, PM3; Version 2, 7.19.2023).
