RCV000158862 | SCV000208797 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2014-09-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | p.Thr1373Ile (ACC>ATC): c.4118 C>T in exon 30 of the MYH7 gene (NM_000257.2). A variant of unknown significance has been identified in the MYH7 gene. The T1373I variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The T1373I 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. The T1373I variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs within the coiled coil region at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense mutations in nearby residues (T1377M, A1379T, R1382Q, R1382W) have been reported in association with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in HCM panel(s). |
