TABLE 1.

Summary of reported GDF2 homozygous pathogenic variant cases and clinical findings.

Protein change Nucleotide change Clinical findings (age at diagnosis) Family history Reference
p.[Gln26Ter]; [Gln26Ter] c.[76C>T]; [76C>T]

‐PAH (3 years)

‐facial spider‐like/linear telangiectases (10 years)

Parents: both heterozygous, asymptomatic Wang et al., (2016), this study
p.[Arg151Ter]; [Arg151Ter] * c.[451C>T];[451C>T]

‐NIHF

‐Lymphatic dysplasia

(34 + 6 weeks gestation)

Parents: both heterozygous, no suspicious findings

1. Sibling, intra‐uterine death due to NIHF
