Congenital Heart Defect v0.87 HEY2 Zornitza Stark Marked gene: HEY2 as ready
Congenital Heart Defect v0.87 HEY2 Zornitza Stark Gene: hey2 has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
Congenital Heart Defect v0.87 HEY2 Chirag Patel gene: HEY2 was added
gene: HEY2 was added to Congenital Heart Defect. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: HEY2 was set to BOTH monoallelic and biallelic (but BIALLELIC mutations cause a more SEVERE disease form), autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: HEY2 were set to PMID: 32820247
Phenotypes for gene: HEY2 were set to congenital heart defects and thoracic aortic aneurysms
Review for gene: HEY2 was set to RED
Added comment: A very large family affected by CHD and familial thoracic aortic aneurysms. Trio genome sequencing was carried out in an index patient with critical CHD, and family members had either exome or Sanger sequencing. Identified homozygous loss-of-function variant (c.318_319delAG, p.G108*) in HEY2 in 3 individuals in family with critical CHD, whereas the 20 heterozygous carriers show a spectrum of CVDs (CHD and FTAA, but varying expressivity and incomplete penetrance).

Other studies show that knockout of HEY2 in mice results in cardiovascular defects (CVDs), including septal defects, cardiomyopathy, a thin-walled aorta, and valve anomalies.
