Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001268843 SCV002246003 pathogenic not provided 2024-04-15 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 130 of the TK2 protein (p.Arg130Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs281865493, gnomAD 0.08%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (PMID: 20083405, 29602790). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38988). 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 TK2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TK2 function (PMID: 20083405). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV005055529 SCV005726377 pathogenic Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 2024-11-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: TK2 c.388C>T (p.Arg130Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Deoxynucleoside kinase domain (IPR031314) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.6e-05 in 251236 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in TK2 causing Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome - TK2 Related (7.6e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.388C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome - TK2 Related (e.g. Lesko_2010, Garone_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant results in <4% of normal activity (Lesko_2010). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20083405, 29602790). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38988). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
