ClinVar

Description

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 842 of the MYH7 protein (p.Ser842Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant MYH7 associated conditions (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 629474). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Ser842 amino acid residue in MYH7. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 30384889). 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.
