RCV003105667 | SCV003792478 | pathogenic | Primary pulmonary hypertension | 2022-08-03 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 3 of the BMPR2 gene. This variant would be expected to be in-frame, preserving the integrity of the reading frame. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PMID: 16728714, 21801371, 28388887). This variant disrupts the p.Cys99 amino acid residue in BMPR2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19555857, 30578397; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
