The BMPR2 c.38G>A; p.Trp13Ter variant (rs1085307151) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with pulmonary arterial hypertension (Chida 2012, Machado 2015). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 425682), but is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). Additionally, another variant at this codon (c.39G>A; p.Trp13Ter) has been reported in a family with pulmonary arterial hypertension and is considered pathogenic (Hamid 2010). In vitro functional analyses of the c.39G>A variant show that while the transcript does not undergo NMD, the variant results in a truncated protein missing the ligand binding domain and part of the transmembrane domain (Hamid 2010). Based on available information, the c.38G>A; p.Trp13Ter variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Chida A et al.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 425682). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PMID: 22632830, 26387786). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp13*) in the BMPR2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BMPR2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16429395). -
