Description
The p.R403L pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1208G>T), located in coding exon 11 of the MYH7 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1208. The arginine at codon 403 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties, and is located in the head domain. This variant has been reported in several unrelated individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and has been reported to segregate with disease in families (Dausse E et al. J. Clin. Invest., 1993 Dec;92:2807-13; al-Mahdawi S et al. Br Heart J, 1994 Aug;72:105-11; Santos S et al. BMC Med. Genet. 2012 Mar;13:17; Walsh R et al. Genet. Med., 2017 02;19:192-203; Cui H et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis. 2019 11;14(1):252; Norrish G et al. Circulation, 2019 07;140:184-192). In addition, other pathogenic variants affecting this codon (p.R403Q, c.1208G>A and p.R403W, c.1207C>T) have also been reported in association with HCM (Dausse E et al. J. Clin. Invest., 1993 Dec;92:2807-13; Van Driest SL et al. J. Am. Coll. Cardiol., 2004 Aug;44:602-10). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
