Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection (GMS) v1.5 HEY2 Ivone Leong Classified gene: HEY2 as Red List (low evidence)
Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection (GMS) v1.5 HEY2 Ivone Leong Added comment: Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics). This gene is not associated with a phenotype in OMIM or Gene2Phenotype. There is not enough evidence to support a gene-disease association. This gene has been given a Red rating.
Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection (GMS) v1.5 HEY2 Ivone Leong Gene: hey2 has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection (GMS) v1.4 HEY2 Ivone Leong Phenotypes for gene: HEY2 were changed from congenital heart defects and thoracic aortic aneurysms to congenital heart defects, multiple type, MONDO:0000119; thoracic aortic aneurysm, MONDO:0005396
Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection (GMS) v1.3 HEY2 Zornitza Stark gene: HEY2 was added
gene: HEY2 was added to Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection. 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 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.
