Genes affected
GDF2 (HGNC:4217): (growth differentiation factor 2) This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein regulates cartilage and bone development, angiogenesis and differentiation of cholinergic central nervous system neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Identified in patients with HHT, HHT-like phenotype, or PAH in published literature (Wooderchalk-Donahue et al., 2013; Zhu et al., 2019; Balachandar et al., 2022) ; however, at least one individual harbored a pathogenic variant in another HHT-related gene (Shovlin et al., 2020); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; One published functional studies showed reduction in mature protein levels but no change in protein activity compared to wild type, while another showed no change in circulating mature protein levels (Wooderchak-Donahue et al., 2013; Hodgson et al., 2020); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34611981, 25620979, 32992168, 23972370, 32573726, 34904380, 31661308, 31727138) -

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. -
