Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PS4_Moderate PM1 PS3_Supporting PP3 PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.401A>G variant in the MAP2K2 gene is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of tyrosine by cysteine at amino acid 134 (p.Tyr134Cys). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.966, predicting a damaging impact on protein function (PP3). This variant is in a location that has been defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel to be a critical functional domain of MAP2K2 (PM1, AA 128-138). This variant has been identified in at least 4 patients with RASopathy (PS4_Moderate; PMID:18413255, 18039235, 21062266, 23885229). ERK phosphorylation assays showed that this variant led to increased phosphorylation compared to wild-type (PS3_Supporting; PMID:17981815, 18413255). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant RASopathies based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert Panel: PS4_Moderate, PM1, PS3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PP3 (Specification Version 2.3, 12/3/2024) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA180890/MONDO:0021060/048

Genes affected

MAP2K2 (HGNC:6842): (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase is known to play a critical role in mitogen growth factor signal transduction. It phosphorylates and thus activates MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK2/ERK3. The activation of this kinase itself is dependent on the Ser/Thr phosphorylation by MAP kinase kinase kinases. Mutations in this gene cause cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC syndrome), a disease characterized by heart defects, cognitive disability, and distinctive facial features similar to those found in Noonan syndrome. The inhibition or degradation of this kinase is also found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Yersinia and anthrax. A pseudogene, which is located on chromosome 7, has been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 134 of the MAP2K2 protein (p.Tyr134Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (PMID: 18039235, 18413255, 23885229). This variant is also known as MEK2 Y134C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 177868). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (internal data) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MAP2K2 function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MAP2K2 function (PMID: 17981815, 18413255, 19376813). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
