RCV003105668 | SCV003792479 | pathogenic | Primary pulmonary hypertension | 2021-08-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 4-5 of the BMPR2 gene. This deletion is out-of-frame, and is expected to create a premature translational stop signal and result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BMPR2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16429395). A similar copy number variant has been observed in individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PMID: 15775752, 19555857, 21920918, 31727138). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
