RCV000441734 | SCV000521151 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2015-11-24 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The T147N likely pathogenic variant has been published previously in two patients with Hyper IgM Syndrome (Seyama et al., 1998; Bajorath et al., 1996). It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. T147N is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species; however, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues (K143T, G144E) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with Hyper IgM Syndrome (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Furthermore, studies of the T147N variant have shown that it is associated with a gain of glycosylation in epithelial cells and has decreased binding for CD40 leading to decreased CD40L expression (Seyama et al., 1998; Vogt et al., 2005). Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. |
| Invitae | RCV000823370 | SCV000964225 | uncertain significance | Hyper-IgM syndrome type 1 | 2019-05-20 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces threonine with asparagine at codon 147 of the CD40LG protein (p.Thr147Asn). The threonine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between threonine and asparagine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) affected with X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (PMID: 16509032, 9746782, 15358621). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 381652). This variant has been reported to affect CD40LG protein function (PMID: 9746782, 20625427). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
