Clinical Validity Scoring Notes and points | NODAL IS LOF CONSTRAINED, LOEUF 0.31. Note there is an alternate start codon in exon 2 that is used by transcripts NM_001329906 EXON 1 c.123_142dup20 p.(Tyr48Trpfs*5) - NMD+, located in exon 1, absent gnomAD. c.182T>A p.L61Q - absent gnomad REVEL Score: 0.690. PMID: 22352765 - requested article, per HGMD found in patient with Congenital heart disease
EXON 2 c.194-1G>T - absent gnomad v2, NMD+ variant, located in intron 1. PMID: 19064609 (2009) - found in one individual per table 1. Table 2, reported in a patient with dextrocardia, single ventricle, DILV, PA, hypoplastic tricuspid valve annulus. 2 POINTS PMID: 30622330 - overlaping authors with PMID: 19064609, same proband reported LAT0022. Variant inherited from unaffected father, and shared by an affected paternal aunt. 1 POINT (DOWNGRADE FOR REDUCED PENETRANCE)
c.397C>T p.Q133* (Cardiac defects) - Exon 2. Path by Invitae, absent gnomAD v2, NMD+. PMID: 29368431 reported in patient 9 with double outlet right ventricle and transposition of the great arteries. Also had a variant in CITED2 which is also associated with congenital heart disease (moderate curations by LMM and Ambry), but this variant is present in 54/58840 admixed american alleles in gnomAD. 2 POINT
c.692G>A p.W231* - EXON 2. 3 alleles gnomAD v4, NMD+. PMID: 34328347 Found in a cohort of patients with tetralogy of Fallot. 2 POINTS c.700_707delAGGCACCG p.(Arg234Serfs*41) - absent gnomAD NMD +. PMID: 30622330 - Found in patient LAT1763M with conotruncal heart defect. 2 POINTS PER TEXT INHERITED FROM UNAFFECTED PARENT REDUCED PENETRANCE, DOWNGRADE 1 POINTS Also found in LAT0191 with a complex defect. See table 2. HOWEVER, PER TEXT INHERITED FROM UNAFFECTED PARENT REDUCED PENETRANCE; but this individual is also reported in PMID: 19064609 WITH A different in frame variant, so I am going to score conservatively under taht variant below (see c.700_723delinsTTGACTTCC) c.891+1 G>A - located in last intron at splice donor site, unclear if NMD will occur. Absent gnomAD. P/LP by Invitae. PMID: 19064609 (2009) - reported in patient LAT0457 with dextrocardia, hypoplastic subpulmonary conus with PS, l-TGA, DORV with posterior main PA, VSD. 1 POINT c.700_723delinsTTGACTTCC p.(Arg234_Pro241delinsLeuThrSer) - absent gnomAD, non-NMD variant. PMID: 19064609 in patient LAT0191 d-TGA, single ventricle, DILV, PA, ASD, intra-atrial re-entrant tachycardia However, this is the same patient ID reported in PMID: 30622330 and variant is descibed as a FS there. In PMID: 19553149, - per HGMD confirmed by personal communication, variant is called delSJ. Variant has 15% activity of WT based on luciferase assay. Scoring 0.5 point for non-NMD variant, but in herited from unaffected parent per text, -0.5 point, scoring just the 0.5 point for functional.
EXON 3 c.892-1G>C - last intron acceptor site, absent gnomAD, unclear if NMD will occur. c.919C>T p.R307* - NMD-, absent gnomAD. PMID: 30293987 per supplement, in family 3766, found in proband with TGA, VSD, PDA, but inherited from mother who only had a heart murmur. 1 POINT REDUCED PENETRANCE
LOF citations from Invitae PMID: 19064609, 19933292 EXPERIMENTAL PMID: 12730124 - In mice “ It is well established that Nodal heterozy-gotes are normal and are born in expected Mendelian ratios” . However double het mice with Zic3 / NODAL haploinsufficient are born in reduced numbers. PMID: 19064609 - the missense variants identified in patients with were tested using a luciferase reporter assay and found decrease signaling. However, many of the probands reported had the Gly260Arg variant which has a relatively high MAF in gnomAD (0.2%, 78/35440 Admixed american gAD v4. Variants were shown to have found decreased expression on Western blot in P19 cells, mislocalization of phospho-Smad2 in cells transfected with NODAL variant constructs |
