Genes affected
MAP2K2 (HGNC:6842): (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase is known to play a critical role in mitogen growth factor signal transduction. It phosphorylates and thus activates MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK2/ERK3. The activation of this kinase itself is dependent on the Ser/Thr phosphorylation by MAP kinase kinase kinases. Mutations in this gene cause cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC syndrome), a disease characterized by heart defects, cognitive disability, and distinctive facial features similar to those found in Noonan syndrome. The inhibition or degradation of this kinase is also found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Yersinia and anthrax. A pseudogene, which is located on chromosome 7, has been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: The MAP2K2 c.303+8C>G variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide with 3/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing and ESE finder predicts alterations to ESE binding, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 24/115978 (1/4833), predominantly in the African cohort, 22/9636 (1/438), which exceeds the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic MAP2K2 variant of 1/400000. Therefore, suggesting the variant is a common polymorphism found in population(s) of African origin. In addition, the variant of interest has been cited by a clinical diagnostic laboratory as "benign." Therefore, the variant of interest has been classified as Benign. -
