Genes affected
TK2 (HGNC:11831): (thymidine kinase 2) This gene encodes a deoxyribonucleoside kinase that specifically phosphorylates thymidine, deoxycytidine, and deoxyuridine. The encoded enzyme localizes to the mitochondria and is required for mitochondrial DNA synthesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with a myopathic form of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms, some of which lack transit peptide, so are not localized to mitochondria. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 11, 2022Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 18508266, 29602790) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpFeb 14, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln45*) in the TK2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TK2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20421844). This variant is present in population databases (rs281865486, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with mitochondrial DNA depletion myopathy (PMID: 18508266). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38974). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
