Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM5PP3PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_004972.4(JAK2):​c.1849G>T​(p.Val617Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000293 in 1,605,918 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 17 homozygotes. There is a variant allele frequency bias in the population database for this variant (GnomAd4), which may indicate mosaicism or somatic mutations in the reference population data. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V617I) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected
JAK2 (HGNC:6192): (Janus kinase 2) This gene encodes a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a central role in cytokine and growth factor signalling. The primary isoform of this protein has an N-terminal FERM domain that is required for erythropoietin receptor association, an SH2 domain that binds STAT transcription factors, a pseudokinase domain and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain. Cytokine binding induces autophosphorylation and activation of this kinase. This kinase then recruits and phosphorylates signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins. Growth factors like TGF-beta 1 also induce phosphorylation and activation of this kinase and translocation of downstream STAT proteins to the nucleus where they influence gene transcription. Mutations in this gene are associated with numerous inflammatory diseases and malignancies. This gene is a downstream target of the pleiotropic cytokine IL6 that is produced by B cells, T cells, dendritic cells and macrophages to produce an immune response or inflammation. Disregulation of the IL6/JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathways produces increased cellular proliferation and myeloproliferative neoplasms of hematopoietic stem cells. A nonsynonymous mutation in the pseudokinase domain of this gene disrupts the domains inhibitory effect and results in constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation activity and hypersensitivity to cytokine signalling. This gene and the IL6/JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway is a therapeutic target for the treatment of excessive inflammatory responses to viral infections. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]
INSL6 (HGNC:6089): (insulin like 6) The protein encoded by this gene contains a classical signature of the insulin superfamily and is significantly similar to relaxin and relaxin-like factor. This gene is preferentially expressed in testis. Its expression in testis is restricted to interstitial cells surrounding seminiferous tubules, which suggests a role in sperm development and fertilization. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 617 of the JAK2 protein (p.Val617Phe). 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 variant is a well-known somatic change that has been reported as a recurrent variant in many individuals affected with myeloproliferative disorders (PMID: 15920007, 15781101, 15858187, 15793561, 16603627). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14662). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt JAK2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects JAK2 function (PMID: 15793561, 23535062). A different missense substitution at this codon (p.Val617Ile) has been reported to segregate with autosomal dominant hereditary thrombocytosis as a germline change in a single family (PMID: 22397670). Functional studies show that this variant results in constitutive kinase activation and cytokine hyper-responsiveness (PMID: 23535062, 22397670). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The variant is observed at an allele frequency greater than expected for the associated disorder in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset and therefore considered benign. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.88 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000014662). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Val617Ile) has been reported to be associated with JAK2 related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000029763 /PMID: 22397670). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Recently, this variant has also been described as one of the most common drivers of age-related clonal hematopoiesis [PMID: 27563148]. The c.1849G>T (p.V617F) variant in the JAK2 gene is classified as a pathogenic somatic variant. -

The JAK2 c.1849G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val617Phe. This variant has been reported to be present in almost all patients with polycythemia vera and more than half of those with essential thrombocytosis and primary myelofibrosis (Vassiliou 2016. PubMed ID: 27563148). Somatic c.1849G>T variants have been reported in myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ortmann et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25671252; Rumi et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24986690). This variant is reported in 0.058% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
