RCV000483256 | SCV000571465 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2016-09-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The W596X variant in the HSPG2 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The W596X variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. We interpret W596X as a likely pathogenic variant. |
