Genes affected

JPH2 (HGNC:14202): (junctophilin 2) Junctional complexes between the plasma membrane and endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum are a common feature of all excitable cell types and mediate cross talk between cell surface and intracellular ion channels. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of junctional complexes and is composed of a C-terminal hydrophobic segment spanning the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane and a remaining cytoplasmic domain that shows specific affinity for the plasma membrane. This gene is a member of the junctophilin gene family. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and two variants encoding distinct isoforms are described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 17

Uncertain:3

Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The missense variant p.E280K in JPH2 (NM_020433.5) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. It has been submitted to ClinVar as Uncertain Significance.The p.E280K variant is observed in 20/28,876 (0.0693%) alleles from individuals of South Asian background in gnomAD Exomes, which is greater than expected for the disorder. There is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and lysine, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. The p.E280K missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The nucleotide c.838 in JPH2 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Uncertain:1

Jan 08, 2025

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 280 of the JPH2 protein (p.Glu280Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs748282723, gnomAD 0.07%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with JPH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429669). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. 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

Benign:1

Nov 18, 2020

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
