GeneDx RCV000493405 SCV000582363 pathogenic not provided 2023-04-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant inhibits Smad pathway activation and leads to disruption of other downstream signalling pathways (Rudarakanchana et al., 2002); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27587546, 21737554, 32634488, 35346192, 32581362, 19324947, 25688877, 27811071, 29843651, 28388887, 29743074, 30578397, 26387786, 14985116, 20002458, 15591269, 16429395, 11502704, 12045205, 20534176, 18356561, 15059534, 16002577, 10903931, 18503968, 31727138, 32966279, 33066286, 21801371)

Invitae RCV002512939 SCV003524968 pathogenic Primary pulmonary hypertension 2023-12-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 491 of the BMPR2 protein (p.Arg491Trp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with pulmonary hypertension (PMID: 10903931, 28388887). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8802). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BMPR2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg491 amino acid residue in BMPR2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (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.
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences RCV003407308 SCV004109284 pathogenic BMPR2-related condition 2023-02-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The BMPR2 c.1471C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg491Trp. This variant has been reported in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (e.g., Liu et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21737554; Ghigna et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27811071; Yang et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29743074; Wang et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30578397, see Supplementary Dataset 1). An alternate substitution of the same amino acid (p.Arg491Gln) has also been reported in PAH patients (Liu et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21737554). The p.Arg491 amino acid is located in the BMPR2 kinase domain, and alterations of this amino acid have been reported to disrupt downstream signaling (Rudarakanchana et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 12045205; Dewachter et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19324947). This variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating it is rare. Several outside laboratories have interpreted this variant as pathogenic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/8802/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.
