Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_004329.3(BMPR1A):c. variant causes a intron change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
BMPR1A (HGNC:1076): (bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1A) The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptors are a family of transmembrane serine/threonine kinases that include the type I receptors BMPR1A and BMPR1B and the type II receptor BMPR2. These receptors are also closely related to the activin receptors, ACVR1 and ACVR2. The ligands of these receptors are members of the TGF-beta superfamily. TGF-betas and activins transduce their signals through the formation of heteromeric complexes with 2 different types of serine (threonine) kinase receptors: type I receptors of about 50-55 kD and type II receptors of about 70-80 kD. Type II receptors bind ligands in the absence of type I receptors, but they require their respective type I receptors for signaling, whereas type I receptors require their respective type II receptors for ligand binding.
