Genes affected

JAK2 (HGNC:6192): (Janus kinase 2) This gene encodes a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a central role in cytokine and growth factor signalling. The primary isoform of this protein has an N-terminal FERM domain that is required for erythropoietin receptor association, an SH2 domain that binds STAT transcription factors, a pseudokinase domain and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain. Cytokine binding induces autophosphorylation and activation of this kinase. This kinase then recruits and phosphorylates signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins. Growth factors like TGF-beta 1 also induce phosphorylation and activation of this kinase and translocation of downstream STAT proteins to the nucleus where they influence gene transcription. Mutations in this gene are associated with numerous inflammatory diseases and malignancies. This gene is a downstream target of the pleiotropic cytokine IL6 that is produced by B cells, T cells, dendritic cells and macrophages to produce an immune response or inflammation. Disregulation of the IL6/JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathways produces increased cellular proliferation and myeloproliferative neoplasms of hematopoietic stem cells. A nonsynonymous mutation in the pseudokinase domain of this gene disrupts the domains inhibitory effect and results in constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation activity and hypersensitivity to cytokine signalling. This gene and the IL6/JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway is a therapeutic target for the treatment of excessive inflammatory responses to viral infections. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

INSL6 (HGNC:6089): (insulin like 6) The protein encoded by this gene contains a classical signature of the insulin superfamily and is significantly similar to relaxin and relaxin-like factor. This gene is preferentially expressed in testis. Its expression in testis is restricted to interstitial cells surrounding seminiferous tubules, which suggests a role in sperm development and fertilization. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000687 (100/1455928) while in subpopulation MID AF= 0.000522 (3/5744). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000142. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 55 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 29. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 6 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

The JAK2 p.Arg564Leu variant was identified in the literature in 3 of 20,000 samples from patients with suspected Myeloproliferative Neoplasias (Ma_2009_PMID:19074595). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs368927897) and ClinVar (classified as likely pathogenic by Database of Curated Mutations (DoCM) for Myeloproliferative disorder as a somatic mutation). The variant was identified in control databases in 17 of 280934 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00006051 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: Ashkenazi Jewish in 3 of 10314 chromosomes (freq: 0.000291), European (non-Finnish) in 12 of 128456 chromosomes (freq: 0.000093) and South Asian in 2 of 30264 chromosomes (freq: 0.000066), but was not observed in the African, Latino, East Asian, European (Finnish), or Other populations. The p.Arg564 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and three of four in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 564 of the JAK2 protein (p.Arg564Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs368927897, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with JAK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 376706). 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 JAK2 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. -

The JAK2 c.1691G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg564Leu. This variant has been reported in patients with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasias (Ma et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19074595). In addition, another variant (c.1691G>A) affecting the same amino acid (p.Arg564Gln) has been reported in familial essential thrombocytosis (Etheridge et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24381227). This variant is reported in 0.029% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
