Is MYO7A p.Leu1179Pro (c.3536T>C) pathogenic?

MYO7A p.Leu1179Pro (c.3536T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in MYO7A (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-06-18). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9987); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with Usher syndrome type 1.

What condition is associated with MYO7A p.Leu1179Pro (c.3536T>C)?

MYO7A p.Leu1179Pro (c.3536T>C) is associated with Usher syndrome type 1 (ClinVar).

How common is MYO7A p.Leu1179Pro (c.3536T>C) in the general population?

MYO7A p.Leu1179Pro (c.3536T>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Usher syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about MYO7A p.Leu1179Pro (c.3536T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9987) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

AlphaMissense	0.9987	likely pathogenic · top 3% in MYO7A
REVEL	0.968	strongly pathogenic-leaning
SaProt	LLR -14.99	damaging
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this damaging.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
