Pulmonary Hypertension VCEP
The BMPR2 c.1171G>A variant is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of alanine to threonine at amino acid position 391 (p.(Ala391Thr)). The variant was absent in gnomAD v.4.1.0, so PM2_supporting is met (but not BA1, BS1 nor BS2). Computational predictor REVEL score is 0.86, which is ≥0.75, and AlphaMissense = 0.9729, so PP3 is met and BP4 is not met. This variant is located in the kinase domain (aa 203-504), hence PM1 is met. It does not affect known critical or non-critical amino acids. The variant has been reported in at least two presumably unrelated individuals with IPAH from French (PMID: 18356561) and Spanish cohorts (PMID: 33007923). Another individual with IPAH was reported in Machado et al. (2009) (PMID:19555857) but it was not clear whether it referred to the same individual as in PMID: 18356561, and another report of the French cohort (PMID: 25429696) likely referred to the same individual as in PMID: 18356561. Hence, PS4_supporting was met as the variant was found in >1 PAH patient. PP1, PS2, PM6 were not met due to the absence of co-segregation data. Experimental evidence demonstraed abolished BMPR2-SMAD signaling via a BRE2-Luc vector luciferase assay in murine embryonic endothelial cells that included appropriate controls and replicates (PS3 met). A different missense variant affecting the same amino acid, c.1172C>A p.(Ala391Asp), was reported in an IPAH individual (PMID: 31727138) but was scored as VUS (PM1, PM2_supporting, PM5_supporting, PP3) thus, PM5 was not met. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a likely pathogenic for pulmonary arterial hypertension based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Pulmonary Hypertension VCEP: PS3, PS4_supporting, PM1, PM2_supporting, PP3 (VCEP specification version 1.1.0, 1/18/2024).
Met criteria codes
PM1
Located within the kinase domain (aa203-504)
PM2_Supporting
Variant is absent in GnomAD v.4.1.0
PS4_Supporting
The variant has been reported before in presumably unrelated individuals with IPAH from French (PMID: 18356561) and Spanish cohorts (PMID: 33007923). In addition, Machado et al. (2009) reported previously unpublished variants and reported the variant in another IPAH patient (PMID:19555857). One more publication (PMID: 25429696) reported the same variant but likely referred to the same individual as in PMID: 18356561. Hence, PS4_sup was met as the variant was found in >1 PAH patients.
PS3
Functional analysis by Girerd et al. 2015 (PMID: 25429696) Vector with BMPR2 p.Ala391Thr variant transfected in mouse embryonic endothelial cells. Parallel transfection of BMPR2 miRNA and ACVR2A miRNA to silence endogenous expression. Also transfected with BRE2-Luc vector to measure relative luciferase activity in 3 independent experiments. Stimulation with BMP4 50 ng/ml compared to no stimulation. --> BMP4 stimulated p.A391T showed no significant change in relative luciferase activity compared to unstimulated cells showing that BMPR2-SMAD signalling was defective. Appropriate controls and repetitions applied.
PP3
REVEL score 0.864 is ≥0.75
Not Met criteria codes
PM5
Zhu et al. (2019) PMID: 31727138: identifed the variant c.1172C>A p.(Ala391Asp) in one patient with IPAH. It was scored as rare and deleterious based on CADD 33, REVEL 0.82 and absence in ExAC (also absent in GnomAD v.4.1.0). Scoring of this variant resulted in a class III variant, thus PM5 is not met.
BA1
Variant is absent in GnomAD v.4.1.0
BS2
Variant is absent in GnomAD v.4.1.0
BS3
Functional effect shown, see PS3 (PMID: 25429696)
BS1
Variant is absent in GnomAD v.4.1.0
BP4
REVEL score 0.864 and therefore larger than 0.25
PS1
not reported in literature
