Description
The c.417G>C (p.Glu139Asp) variant in PTPN11 has been reported as a confirmed de novo occurrence in at least 2 patients and at least 5 other independent occurrences in patients with clinical features of a RASopathy (PS2_VeryStrong; PS4; GeneDx, Baylor, BC Children's internal data; SCV000057396.11, SCV000196664.1, SCV000803709.1; GTR Lab ID: 26957, 1006, 249401 PMID: 22315187, 17020470, 11992261). This variant was absent from large population studies (PM2; ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Glu139Asp variant may impact protein function (PS3; PMID: 23584145, 15987685, 18372317). The variant is located in the PTPN11 gene, which has been defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel as a gene with a low rate of benign missense variants and pathogenic missense variants are common (PP2; PMID: 29493581). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the c.417G>C (p.Glu139Asp) variant may impact the protein (PP3). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for RASopathies in an autosomal dominant manner. Rasopathy-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied (PMID:29493581): PS2_VeryStrong, PS3, PS4, PM2, PP2, PP3.
