Description
The c.167T>C (p.Ile56Thr) variant in PTPN11 has been identified in 2 related patients with clinical features of a RASopathy (PS4_Supporting, PP1; Invitae internal data; GTR Lab ID 500031; ClinVar SCV000659038.1). A different pathogenic missense variant (p.Ile56Val) has been previously identified at this codon of PTPN11 which may indicate that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (PM5; ClinVar 40485). This variant was absent from large population studies (PM2; gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). 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 p.Ile56Thr variant may impact the protein (PP3). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for RASopathies in an autosomal dominant manner. RASopathy-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied (PMID:29493581): PS4_Supporting, PP1, PM2, PM5, PP2, PP3.
