The PTPN11 c.188A>G (p.Tyr63Cys) variant has been reported in ClinVar as pathogenic, including an expert panel assertion from the ClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert Panel.
clinvar ↗This variant is present at very low frequency in gnomAD, with AF 0.00120% in v2.1 and AF 0.00087% in v4.1, which is below the RASopathy BA1 and BS1 thresholds but does not meet the PTPN11 VCEP requirement for PM2 because the variant is not absent from controls.
gnomad_v2 ↗ gnomad_v4 ↗ cspec ↗In a published functional study, SHP-2 phosphatase assays showed increased activity for Noonan syndrome-associated PTPN11 mutants including p.Tyr63Cys, and the RASopathy VCEP lists this assay type as an approved functional assay for PTPN11, supporting a gain-of-function effect.
PMID:15834506 ↗ cspec ↗Computational evidence supports a deleterious missense effect, with REVEL 0.955 above the PTPN11 VCEP PP3 threshold of 0.7, BayesDel 0.482421, and SpliceAI showing no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.03.
