Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0022 in 394334 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0038 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v2.1 exomes dataset, and v3 genomes dataset), including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is considerably higher than the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TNFRSF13B causing Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) phenotype, strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. The variant, c.215G>A, also has been reported in the literature (in heterozygous and compound heterozygous state) in individuals affected with Common Variable Immunodeficiency, but has also been observed in unaffected individuals and family members (e.g. Salzer_2005, Freiberger_2012, Pulvirenti_2016). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Common Variable Immunodeficiency. The variant was found at frequencies comparable in CVID patient cohorts and healthy controls in multiple case-control studies (e.g. Salzer_2009, van Schouwenburg_2015) and in a meta-analysis of cases and controls from the literature (Freiberger_2012). A publication reported experimental evidence and demonstrated decreased production of IgG and IgA after APRIL stimulation of B cells derived from a patient carrying the variant in heterozygous state. However, in this study B cells of subjects with CVID but no TNFRSF13B mutations were at least as dysfunctional as B cells of subjects with CVID, who had monoallelic- or biallelic TNFRSF13B mutations; therefore, this study doesn't allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect (Zhang_2007). Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.

Of note, multiple publications list this variant as a polymorphism. This variant is present in the Genome Aggregation Database (Highest reported MAF 0.4% (314/68020) including 2 homozygotes (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/17-16948968-C-T?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as likely benign (Variation ID:322027). This variant amino acid Histidine (His) is present in several species including multiple mammals and is not well conserved among evolutionarily distant species; this suggests that this variant may not impact the protein. Additional computational prediction tools do not suggest an impact. In summary, data on this variant suggests that this variant does not cause disease but requires further evidence. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign.
