Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_002449.5(MSX2):​c.443C>A​(p.Pro148His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P148L) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

MSX2 (HGNC:7392): (msh homeobox 2) This gene encodes a member of the muscle segment homeobox gene family. The encoded protein is a transcriptional repressor whose normal activity may establish a balance between survival and apoptosis of neural crest-derived cells required for proper craniofacial morphogenesis. The encoded protein may also have a role in promoting cell growth under certain conditions and may be an important target for the RAS signaling pathways. Mutations in this gene are associated with parietal foramina 1 and craniosynostosis type 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr5-174729222-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.962
• PP5: Variant 5-174729222-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-174729222-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 16961.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Pro148 amino acid residue in MSX2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23949913, 23918290). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This variant has been reported to affect MSX2 protein function (PMID: 9256341, 27013732, 18786927). This variant has been observed to segregate with Boston-type craniosynostosis in a family (PMID: 8106171). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16961). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces proline with histidine at codon 148 of the MSX2 protein (p.Pro148His). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and histidine. -
