Genes affected

PTCH2 (HGNC:9586): (patched 2) This gene encodes a transmembrane receptor of the patched gene family. The encoded protein may function as a tumor suppressor in the hedgehog signaling pathway. Alterations in this gene have been associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, basal cell carcinoma, medulloblastoma, and susceptibility to congenital macrostomia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Gorlin syndrome

Uncertain:1

Oct 22, 2024

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 235 of the PTCH2 protein (p.Arg235Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs376337405, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PTCH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 581418). 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 PTCH2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Basal cell nevus syndrome 1

Uncertain:1

Jun 17, 2025

St. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PTCH2 c.704G>A p.(Arg235Gln) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.012% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL is inconclusive about a pathogenic or benign effect of this variant on protein function, and to our knowledge functional studies have not been performed. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -
