Genes affected

BMPR2 (HGNC:1078): (bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2) This gene encodes a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor family of transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. The ligands of this receptor are members of the TGF-beta superfamily. BMPs are involved in endochondral bone formation and embryogenesis. These proteins transduce their signals through the formation of heteromeric complexes of two different types of serine (threonine) kinase receptors: type I receptors of about 50-55 kD and type II receptors of about 70-80 kD. Mutations in this gene have been associated with primary pulmonary hypertension, both familial and fenfluramine-associated, and with pulmonary venoocclusive disease. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

The p.K512R variant (also known as c.1535A>G), located in coding exon 11 of the BMPR2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1535. The lysine at codon 512 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BMPR2 c.1535A>G; p.Lys512Arg variant, to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature or gene-specific databases. The variant is also absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. However, another variant in the same codon, p.Lys512Thr, is reported in one family with pulmonary arterial hypertension and transfected expressed protein mislocalizes in cells (John 2015, Machado 2001). The lysine at codon 512 is highly conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Lys512Arg variant is uncertain at this time. References: John A et al.
