Description
The NM_001114753.3: c.662T>C variant in ENG is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of leucine by proline at amino acid 221 (p.Leu221Pro). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been reported in >10 probands with a phenotype consistent with HHT (PS4; PMID: 10545596, 15880681, 17384219, 18498373, 20414677, 22991266, Internal lab contributors). At least one patient's phenotype meets Curacao Criteria for HHT, and sequencing and large deletion/duplication analysis was performed for ENG and ACVRL1, which is highly specific for HHT (PP4_Moderate; Internal lab contributors). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.478, which is neither above nor below the thresholds predicting a damaging or benign impact on ENG function. However, protein expression assays in cell lines showed the variant causes reduced endoglin expression (PS3_Supporting; PMID: 10545596). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Variant Curation Expert Panel: PS4, PP4_Moderate, PS3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting (specification version 1.0.0; 1/4/2024).
