RCV000449644 | SCV000502989 | likely pathogenic | Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 2 | no assertion criteria provided | research | Following evidences confirm that this mutation can lead to FHL2: 1-Whole exome sequencing only identified this mutation to be the main cause of FHL2 in the patient. 2- Sanger sequencing confirmed the mutation in the proband and on the basis of identified heterozygous mutation in his parents, the inheritance pattern must be an autosomal recessive mode. 3- Bioinformatics software such as polyphen, SIFT, LRT, Mutation Taster, FATHMM, Radial SVM and Mutation Assessor software are predicted that this variant will be damaging (Table 2) 4- The comparative amino acids alignment of perforin 1 protein across all Kingdoms using multiple sequence alignment analysis using T-Coffee Multiple Sequence Alignment Program revealed that this amino acid is highly conserved during evolution. 5. In addition, a substitution from tryptophan amino acid with an aromatic side chain (at position 374) to glycine amino acid with a nonpolar and small hydrogen side chain can make a major problem in the protein. As a result, this mutation in PRF1 gene is extremely pathogenic in our patient with FHL2. |
