Description
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. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS2_VeryStrong, PM2, PM5, PM1, PP3.
