RCV000158828 | SCV000208763 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2013-07-30 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.2563_2565delGAG variant in the MYH7 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The c.2563_2565delGAG variant results in an in-frame deletion of a Glutamic acid at codon 855 in the MYH7 gene. The c.2563_2565delGAG variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Other in-frame deletions and other missense mutations in nearby residues (Met852Thr, Arg858Cys, Arg858Pro, Arg858His) have been reported in HGMD in association with cardiomyopathy, supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein (Stenson P et al., 2009).In summary, while c.2563_2565delGAG is a good candidate for a disease-causing mutation, with the clinical and molecular information available at this time we cannot unequivocally determine the clinical significance of this variant. |
