Resumo

MYBPC3 splicing errors are a common cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Most known actionable intronic variants are located near exons. However, genetic variants in deep intronic regions are also emerging as casuals factors of HCM. The previously undescribed variant MYBPC3 (NM_000256.3):c.2308+227G>A is not reported in gnomAD or dbSNP but is overrepresented in a cohort of probands with HCM from the same geographical area. This led us to suspect its clinical relevance despite the very low probability of being splice-altering as assigned by SpliceAI (Δ score = 0.03).
