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.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CASQ2 c.738-6_738-5delTT alters a nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.46 in 17666 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 169 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 102-folds over the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CASQ2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (0.0045), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.738-6_738-5delTT in individuals affected with Arrhythmia and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
