RASGRP2
protein-codingRAS guanyl releasing protein 2, the group of EF-hand domain containing
Gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a brain-enriched nucleotide exchanged factor that contains an N-terminal GEF domain, 2 tandem repeats of EF-hand calcium-binding motifs, and a C-terminal diacylglycerol/phorbol ester-binding domain. This protein can activate small GTPases, including RAS and RAP1/RAS3. The nucleotide exchange activity of this protein can be stimulated by calcium and diacylglycerol. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

RASGRP2 was first reported in relation to autosomal recessive platelet-type bleeding disorder 18 in 2014 (Canault et al., PMID: 24958846). At least 20 unique variants (including mostly missense, as well as nonsense, and a few splicing and frameshift variants) have been reported in humans. Evidence supporting this gene-disease relationship includes case-level data and experimental data. Variants in this gene have been reported in at least 13 probands in 5 publications (PMIDs: 24958846, 27235135, 28637664, 27663674, 28762304). Variants in this gene segregated with disease in 5 additional family members. More evidence is available in the literature, but the maximum score for genetic evidence (12 pts.) has been reached. This gene-disease association is supported by the protein function in integrin activation, functional alteration and rescue in patient cells, and mouse models (including a knockout mouse and a humanized knock-in partial rescue). In summary, RASGRP2 is definitively associated with autosomal recessive platelet-type bleeding disorder 18. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both the research and clinical diagnostic settings, and has been upheld over time. Of note, this gene was previously implicated to be associated with leukocyte adhesion deficiency-3 (LAD3) (PMID:17576779), however it was later shown (PMIDs:19064721, 19234463, and 19234460) to not be the case and LAD3 is associated with defects in the FERMT3 gene.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_001098671.2. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Functions as a calcium- and DAG-regulated nucleotide exchange factor specifically activating Rap through the exchange of bound GDP for GTP. May also activates other GTPases such as RRAS, RRAS2, NRAS, KRAS but not HRAS. Functions in aggregation of platelets and adhesion of T-lymphocytes and neutrophils probably through inside-out integrin activation. May function in the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1/CHRM1 signaling pathway. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10918068, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14702343, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17576779, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17702895, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24958846, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27235135}.;
