Genes affected
HNRNPH2 (HGNC:5042): (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2) This gene belongs to the subfamily of ubiquitously expressed heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs). The hnRNPs are RNA binding proteins and they complex with heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). These proteins are associated with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and appear to influence pre-mRNA processing and other aspects of mRNA metabolism and transport. While all of the hnRNPs are present in the nucleus some seem to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The hnRNP proteins have distinct nucleic acid binding properties. The protein encoded by this gene has three repeats of quasi-RRM domains that binds to RNAs. It is very similar to the family member HNRPH1. This gene is thought to be involved in Fabray disease and X-linked agammaglobulinemia phenotype. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. Read-through transcription between this locus and the ribosomal protein L36a gene has been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
RPL36A-HNRNPH2 (HGNC:48349): (RPL36A-HNRNPH2 readthrough) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring ribosomal protein L36a and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (H') genes on chromosome X. The read-through transcript produces a protein with similarity to the protein encoded by the upstream locus, ribosomal protein L36a. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.

The c.616C>T (p.Arg206Trp) variant in HNRNPH2 has been reported as de novo by whole exome sequencing in 19 individuals with a neurodevelopmental disorder consisting of developmental delay and variable presentation of regression, autism, tone abnormalities, seizures and/or psychiatric co-morbidities such as ADHD, anxiety, and OCD (Bain et al. 2019). The amino acid Arg at position 206 is changed to a Trp changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The p.Arg206Trp variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic. The variant occurs in a region of the protein that is critical for protein function and has been frequently altered in diseased individuals (Van Dusen et al. 2010). The variant is predicted to be damaging by SIFT and the residue is conserved across species. The amino acid change p.Arg206Trp in HNRNPH2 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, the variant is classified as pathogenic. -

This HNRNPH2 variant (rs886039763) is absent from a large population dataset and has been reported in ClinVar. It is the most frequent, recurrent de novo variant identified in individuals with X-linked HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder. In addition, another pathogenic missense variant affecting the same codon (p.Arg206Gln) has been reported. Of three bioinformatics tools queried, two predict that the substitution would be damaging, while another predicts that it would be tolerated. The arginine residue at this position is evolutionarily conserved across most vertebrate species assessed. This variant is not predicted to affect normal exon 2 splicing, although this has not been confirmed experimentally to our knowledge. We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Variant summary: HNRNPH2 c.616C>T (p.Arg206Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the glycine-rich domain (Bain_2016) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 183420 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.616C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Neurodevelopmental disorder (Bain_2016, Jepsen_2019, Martin_2021) and identified as de novo mutation. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Fifteen ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.18 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.96 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000225760 /PMID: 27545675 /3billion dataset). The variant has been previously reported as de novo in a similarly affected individual (PMID: 27545675). The variant has been observed in at least two similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 27545675). The variant has been previously reported as assumed (i.e. paternity and maternity not confirmed) de novo in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (3billion dataset). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg206Gln, p.Arg206Gly, p.Arg206Leu) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000225761 /PMID: 27545675, 31943778, 33728377). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

The HNRNPH2 c.616C>T (p.Arg206Trp) missense variant results in the substitution of arginine at amino acid position 206 with tryptophan. The p.Arg206Trp variant is a recurrent variant which has been reported in a heterozygous state in over 20 unrelated individuals with neurodevelopmental phenotypes (PMID: 27545675; PMID: 31236915; PMID: 31670473; PMID: 33728377; PMID: 34008892). At least three different missense variants at Arg206 have also been identified in over ten affected individuals, suggesting that Arg206 is a hotspot for disease-causing variation (PMID:30887513; PMID: 33728377; PMID: 33504798). This variant is not found in version 2.1.1 or version 3.1.2 of the Genome Aggregation Database. The p.Arg206Trp variant is found in a well conserved nuclear localization sequence in a glycine rich domain (PMID: 33728377). Functional studies are unavailable for p.Arg206Trp, but cellular localization studies performed on another variant at Arg206, p.Arg206Gln, showed altered cellular localization patterns compared to wild type, which were suggestive of a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling defect (PMID: 34907471). Based on the available evidence, the c.616C>T p.(Arg206Trp) variant is classified as pathogenic for HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder. -

The c.616C>T (p.R206W) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the HNRNPH2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 616, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 206 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant was determined to be de novo in multiple individuals, both male and female, with features consistent with HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder (Bain, 2016; Jepsen, 2019; Somashekar, 2020; Bain, 2021). Other variant(s) at the same codon, c.617G>A (p.R206Q) and c.617G>T (p.R206L), have been identified in individual(s) with features consistent with HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder (Bain, 2016; Harmsen, 2019; Peron, 2020). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). This alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

The c.616C>T (p.Arg206Trp) variant in HNRNPH2 has been reported as de novo by whole exome sequencing in 19 individuals with a neurodevelopmental disorder consisting of developmental delay and variable presentation of regression, autism, tone abnormalities, seizures and/or psychiatric co-morbidities such as ADHD, anxiety, and OCD (Bain et al. 2019). It was absent from large population studies and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 225760). Additionally, another missense variant at this same codon, p.Arg206Gln, has also been reported as de novo in at least two individuals with a neurodevelopmental disorder (Bain et al. 2019, Harmsen et al. 2019) and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 225761). The majority of affected individuals are female. The variant occurs in a region of the protein that is critical for protein function and has been frequently altered in diseased individuals (Van Dusen et al. 2010, Bain et al. 2019). Lastly, computational prediction tools and conservation analysis support that the variant impacts protein function. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for neurodevelopmental disorder in an X-linked dominant manner based upon case counts, de novo occurrence, a different pathogenic missense at the same position, and location at a critical residue, and predicted impact on protein.
