RCV001193392 | SCV001362177 | pathogenic | Hyperimmunoglobulin M syndrome | 2019-02-25 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: CD40LG c.347-1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict the variant abolishes a canonical 3' acceptor site. These predictions have been confirmed by several studies that performed cDNA sequence analysis on patient derived mRNA, demonstrating an in-frame exon 4 (63 bp) skipping (Scholl 1998, Garcia-Perez 2003, Lee 2005). These studies also demonstrated the lack of the CD40L protein on the surface of activated lymphocytes (Scholl 1998, Garcia-Perez 2003). The variant was absent in 178376 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.347-1G>A has been reported in the literature in affected individuals (Leven 2016, Lee 2005, Garcia-Perez 2003, Scholl 1998). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. |
