RCV000084089 | SCV001423757 | pathogenic | Blau syndrome | 2019-10-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The NOD2 c.1484G>A (p.Cys495Tyr) variant is a missense variant that has been reported in a heterozygous state in two unrelated individuals with Blau syndrome (Arostegui et al. 2007; Rose et al. 2009; Okafuji et al. 2009; Yasui et al. 2010). Arostegui et al. reported a 21-month-old Spanish male with skin rash, severe joint involvement, recurrent uveitis and camptodactyly; his other clinical findings included a recurrent fever, headache, hepatosplenomegaly and adenopathies. Okafuji et al. 2009 reported a Japanese male diagnosed with early onset sarcoidosis. At one year, he presented with symptoms which included intermittent fever, polyarticular arthritis and a skin rash described as multiple lichenoid papules and scaly erythematous plaques. Ocular involvement (optic nerve papillitis) was not noted until the age of eight years in this case (Yasui et al. 2010). Li et al. (2017) identified a different heterozygous missense variant affecting the Cys495 residue, c.1483T>C resulting in p.Cys495Arg, in three cases from a cohort of 30 Chinese Han children with Blau syndrome. Control data are unavailable for the p.Cys495Tyr variant which is not found in the Genome Aggregation Database in a region of good sequence coverage, so the variant is presumed to be rare. Homology modelling of the NOD2 protein shows that the Cys495 residue lies within the HD1 region of the NOD2 NACHT domain, a region thought to be involved in the autoinhibition of NOD2 (Parkhouse et al. 2014). Heterologous expression of cDNA NOD2 constructs carrying the p.Cys495Tyr variant leads to an elevation of ligand independent NF kappa B activation compared to the wild type controls (Okafuji et al. 2009; Parkhouse et al. 2014). Based on the collective evidence and application of the ACMG criteria, the p.Cys495Tyr variant is classified as pathogenic for Blau syndrome. |
