| Invitae | RCV001376634 | SCV000550169 | pathogenic | Primary pulmonary hypertension | 2023-12-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg321*) in the BMPR2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BMPR2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16429395). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pulmonary hypertension (PMID: 15591269, 16429395, 21801371). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 409826). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |

RCV001810954 | SCV001156675 | pathogenic | not provided | 2019-09-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The BMPR2 c.961C>T; p.Arg321Ter variant (rs1060502581) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals and families affected with pulmonary arterial hypertension (Girerd 2010, Koehler 2004, Machado 2006, Pfarr 2011, Rosenzweig 2008, Sztrymf 2008, Wang 2016). This variant is reported as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 409826), and is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. This prediction is supported by in vitro functional analyses, which show reduced transcript and protein levels (Drake 2011, Dunmore 2013). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Drake KM et al.
