Pulmonary Hypertension VCEP
The BMPR2 c. 247+6T>G variant is an intronic variant which is located 6 base pairs upstream of the end of exon 2. Despite being located outside the canonical splice donor site, the variant was shown to lead to a partial loss of exon 2 (PubMed ID16728714). Two alternative splice sites were used. The first cryptic donor site was located 60 base pairs upstream and led to the loss of amino acids 63-82. The second cryptic splice site was located 108 base pairs upstream and led to the loss of amino acids 47-82. Both alternative transcripts resulted in a partial loss of the functionally critical extracellular domain of the BMPR2 receptor, which is located at amino acids 33-131 (PVS1). This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1.0 and GnomAD v2.1.1 (controls) (PM2_supporting). This variant has two entries in ClinVar. One case was not counted as the affected status was “unknown.” The second patient was reported in Cogan et al (PubMed ID16728714) as an obligate carrier from a heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension family (1 known affected PAH proband, PS4 not met). PP1, PS2, PM6 were not assessed due to absence of co-segregation data. Of note, a variant at c.247+5G>A was reported to also result in the loss of the splice donor site and two alternative transcripts, one lacking p.47_82 and the second one missing p.63_82 (PMID: 35346192). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for pulmonary arterial hypertension based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Pulmonary Hypertension VCEP: PVS1, PM2_supporting (VCEP specification version 1.1.0, 1/18/2024).
Met criteria codes
PM2_Supporting
The variant is neither found in GnomAD v.2.1.1 controls nor v.4.1.0. Downgraded to supporting according to VCEP specification for BMPR2.
PVS1
Functional evidence shows loss of splice site (PubMed ID16728714). Two alternative, canonical splice sites were used. A cryptic donor site 60 base pairs upstream led to the loss of amino acids 63-82 in exon 2. The second cryptic splice site located 108 base pairs upstream led to the loss of amino acids 47-82 in exon 2. Both alternative transcripts resulted in a partial loss of the extracellular domain of the BMPR2 receptor, which is located at amino acids 33-131 and considered to be a critical functional domain.
Not Met criteria codes
BS1
The variant is neither found in GnomAD v.2.1.1 controls nor v.4.1.0.
BS2
The variant is neither found in GnomAD v.2.1.1 controls nor v.4.1.0.
PS4
2 patients were submitted to ClinVar with "primary pulmonary hypertension". One of the patients has however affected status as "unknown" and was therefore not counted. The other submission refers to the family reported by Cogan et al. 2006 (PubMed ID 16728714).
BA1
The variant is neither found in GnomAD v.2.1.1 controls nor v.4.1.0.
