Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	RCV003620674	SCV004405912	pathogenic	Atrial septal defect 7	2023-09-14	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the NKX2-5 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Ala262Argfs*32) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22920929; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NKX2-5-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr97*) in the NKX2-5 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 228 amino acid(s) of the NKX2-5 protein.
Ambry Genetics	RCV004371647	SCV005022363	pathogenic	Cardiovascular phenotype	2024-02-27	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The p.Y97* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.291C>A), located in coding exon 1 of the NKX2-5 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 291. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 1. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theNKX2-5 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 70% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
