Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_004387.4(NKX2-5):​c.73C>T​(p.Arg25Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00275 in 1,612,236 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 53 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R25L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
NKX2-5 (HGNC:2488): (NK2 homeobox 5) This gene encodes a homeobox-containing transcription factor. This transcription factor functions in heart formation and development. Mutations in this gene cause atrial septal defect with atrioventricular conduction defect, and also tetralogy of Fallot, which are both heart malformation diseases. Mutations in this gene can also cause congenital hypothyroidism non-goitrous type 5, a non-autoimmune condition. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Arg25Cys in exon 1 of NKX2-5: This variant has been reported in a large number o f individuals with congenital heart disease (Akcaboy 2008, Benson 1999, DeLuca 2 010, Esposito 2009, Goli-Pereira 2010, Goldmuntz 2001, McElhinny 2003, Raunch 20 10, Stallmeyer 2010). This variant is now considered to be benign based on its h igh population frequency (2.6%) in the Black population (97/3694 chromosomes, NH LBI Exome Variant Project http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/). -
