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]

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The MAP2K2 c.383C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro128Leu. This variant was reported as a somatic variant in an individual with TAFRO, which is a clinical subtype of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) syndrome (iMCD-TARFO) (Patient 1, Yoshimi et al 2020. PubMed ID: 32051554). Functional studies of this variant showed it lead to hyperactivated MAP kinase signaling, conferred IL-3 hypersensitivity, and sensitized the cells to MEK inhibitors (Yoshimi et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32051554). At PreventionGenetics, this variant has been reported de novo in a fetus with non-immune hydrops fetalis (Internal Data). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Identified as a somatic variant via lymph node biopsy testing in a patient with Castleman disease in published literature, though this variant was absent in bone marrow and the patient did not exhibit features of MAP2K2-related RASopathy (PMID: 32051554); A published functional study demonstrates a damaging effect, including increased activation of MAPK signaling and increased cell proliferation (PMID: 32051554); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (HGMD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32051554, 25370473, 22753777, 19156172, 26399658, 22177953, 29493581) -
