Genes affected
CASQ2 (HGNC:1513): (calsequestrin 2) The protein encoded by this gene specifies the cardiac muscle family member of the calsequestrin family. Calsequestrin is localized to the sarcoplasmic reticulum in cardiac and slow skeletal muscle cells. The protein is a calcium binding protein that stores calcium for muscle function. Mutations in this gene cause stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, also referred to as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 2 (CPVT2), a disease characterized by bidirectional ventricular tachycardia that may lead to cardiac arrest.

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 2 Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteJul 17, 2023Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3B. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 2 (MIM#611938). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. There is definitive evidence for autosomal recessive CPVT and moderate evidence for autosomal dominant CPVT (ClinGen). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance. Among CASQ2 homozygotes and compound heterozygotes, clinical penetrance was 97.1%, while 33.3% of CASQ2 heterozygous family members met diagnostic criteria for CPVT (PMID: 32693635). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to histidine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 (v2 & v3: 13 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - Alternative amino acid changes at the same position have been observed in gnomAD (v2 & v3) (highest allele count: 7 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and uninformative conservation. (I) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated calsequestrin domain (DECIPHER). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. p.(Arg251Cys) has been reported as a VUS by clinical testing laboratories (ClinVar). (I) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity for this variant are conflicting. This variant has been reported five times as VUS, including heterozygous in an individual with coronary artery disease risk (ClinVar, PMIDs: 23861362, 28404607). In addition, it has been reported as likely pathogenic and heterozygous in a child with aborted cardiac arrest and his asymptomatic first degree family member (PMID: 32693635). It has also been reported as homozygous in one or two individuals with CPVT and history of life-threatening symptoms (PMID: 28158428). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1010 - Functional evidence for this variant is inconclusive. In vitro turbidity assay revealed CASQ2-p.R251H did not show filmantation defects when assayed under standard physiologic conditions, however it had impaired filamentation when assayed at a lower pH. In addition, size-exclusion chromatography showed no evidence for interference with CASQ2-p.R251H dimerisation (PMID: 32693635). (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 12, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJun 06, 2017A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the CASQ2 gene. The R251H variant has been published as a variant of uncertain significance (Ng et al., 2013); clinical and familial segregation information was not reported. The R251H variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Arginine are tolerated across species. A majority of in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Although missense variants in nearby residues have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (Stenson et al., 2014), the clinical significance of these variants is currently unknown. Also, the R251H variant is observed in 1/8636 (0.012%) individuals of East Asian ancestry (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). Thus, this variant lacks observation in a significant number of affected individuals, segregation data, and functional evidence, which would further clarify its pathogenicity.In summary, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or rare benign. -

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJul 13, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 251 of the CASQ2 protein (p.Arg251His). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMID: 32693635). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 191442). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CASQ2 function (PMID: 32693635). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 14, 2023The p.R251H variant (also known as c.752G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the CASQ2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 752. The arginine at codon 251 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported as homozygous in a catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) cohort; however, clinical details were limited (Roston TM et al. Europace, 2018 Mar;20:541-547). Additionally, this alteration was detected as heterozygous in an individual with exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia and aborted cardiac arrest and an asymptomatic relative (Ng K et al. Circulation, 2020 Sep;142:932-947). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
