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.

NKX2-5-related disorder Pathogenic:1

Jan 23, 2024

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The NKX2-5 c.783delC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Ala262Argfs*32). This variant (referred to as c.959delC) was reported to segregate with disease in a family with asymptomatic Wenckebach atrioventricular block (Guntheroth et al 2012. PubMed ID: 22920929). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating it is rare. Frameshift variants in NKX2-5 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

Atrial septal defect 7 Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala262Argfs*32) in the NKX2-5 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 63 amino acid(s) of the NKX2-5 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with atrioventricular block (PMID: 22920929). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159257). This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the NKX2-5 protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Cys264*, p.Tyr268*) have been observed in individuals with NKX2-5-related conditions (PMID: 12074273; internal data). This suggests that this may be a clinically significant region of the protein. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Reported in four relatives from one family with Wenckebach atrioventricular block (Wenckebach periodicity), denoted as c.959delC due to the use of alternate nomenclature, three of these affected relatives were also found to have mild apical left ventricular noncompaction (Guntheroth et al., 2012); Reported in ClinVar with conflicting interpretations (ClinVar Variant ID# 159257; Landrum et al., 2016); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 63 amino acids are replaced with 31 different amino acids and other loss-of-function variants have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (Stenson et al., 2014); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22920929) -
