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:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 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 testingGeneDxNov 22, 2016A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the CASQ2 gene. The E159K variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant or been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. This variant was not observed with any significant frequency in both the Exome Aggregation Consortium and in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The E159K variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. Nevertheless, this substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Glutamic acid are tolerated across species. Furthermore, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function.Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or benign. This result cannot be interpreted for diagnosis or used for family member screening at this time. As CPVT due to pathogenic variants in the CASQ2 gene is an autosomal recessive disease, it is expected that an affected individual would harbor variants in both alleles of the CASQ2 gene (in trans). No second variant was identified by this sequencing or deletion/duplication analysis. The possibility that this patient harbors a second CASQ2 variant that is undetectable by this test cannot be excluded. -
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 16, 2022This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 159 of the CASQ2 protein (p.Glu159Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs375598471, gnomAD 0.07%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CASQ2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 292132). 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"). 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 GeneticsDec 29, 2022The p.E159K variant (also known as c.475G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the CASQ2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 475. The glutamic acid at codon 159 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
