RCV000158662 | SCV000208597 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2016-09-29 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | p.Asp1511Ala (GAC>GCC): c.4532 A>C in exon 33 of the MYH7 gene (NM_000257.2). The Asp1511Ala variant in the MYH7 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing variant, to our knowledge. It 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. Asp1511Ala results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution of a negatively charged Aspartic acid with a non-polar Alanine at a residue that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts Asp1511Ala is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Pathogenic variants in nearby residues (Arg1500Trp, Thr1513Ser, Glu1514Lys) have been reported in association with cardiomyopathy, further supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. In summary, while Asp1511Ala is a good candidate for a disease-causing variant, we cannot unequivocally determine the clinical significance of this variant.The variant is found in MYH7 panel(s). |
