Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease VCEP

The NM_000206.3(IL2RG):c.676C>T (p.Arg226Cys) missense variant resides within a CpG dinucleotide region, cDNA 676-677 encoding amino acid R226, of IL2RG that is defined as a mutational hotspot (PMID: 7668284; PM1_Strong). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). The male (0.5pt) patient of PMID: 14966353 has a T-B+NK- lymphocyte subset profile (0.5pt) [CD3: 2.5%; CD19: 95.4%; CD16/CD56: 0.5%] which is specific for SCID due to gamma chain deficiency (1pt; PP4). In a second case, the R226C variant arose de novo as a somatic mutation early in embryogenesis in the mother of the patient, 1 pt, PM6_Moderate (PMID: 23683512). At least eight additional male X-SCID patients have been reported (PMIDs: 9058718, 11129345, 22936741, 7668284) with this hemizygous variant (total 4.5pt; PS4). PMID: 7632950 Examined the mutant 7 chain distribution by confocal microscopy in transiently transfected COS-7 cells, comparing it with the wild-type 7 chain distribution. The mutant 7 chain could not be detected by an antihuman IL-2 receptor 7 chain monoclonal antibody, TUGh4, on the cell surface of the transfected COS-7 cells. This result was in sharp contrast to that obtained with the wild-type γ chain, which was clearly stained by TUGh4 on the transfected cells. PS3_Supporting is met. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for X-linked T-B+ severe combined immunodeficiency due to gamma chain deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen SCID VCEP. Criteria applied: PS4, PM1_Strong, PM6_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PS3_Supporting, and PP4. (VCEP specifications version 1).

PS4

At least eight additional male X-SCID patients have been reported (PMIDs: 9058718, 11129345, 22936741, 7668284) with this hemizygous variant (total 4.5pt; PS4).

PM2_Supporting

This variant is absent from gnomADv2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting).

PS3_Supporting

PMID: 7632950 Examined the mutant 7 chain distribution by confocal microscopy in transiently transfected COS-7 cells, comparing it with the wild-type 7 chain distribution. The mutant 7 chain could not be detected by an antihuman IL-2 receptor 7 chain monoclonal antibody, TUGh4, on the cell surface of the transfected COS-7 cells. This result was in sharp contrast to that obtained with the wild-type γ chain, which was clearly stained by TUGh4 on the transfected cells. PS3_Supporting is met.

PP4

The male (0.5pt) patient of PMID: 14966353 has a T-B+NK- lymphocyte subset profile 0.5pt [CD3: 2.5%; CD19: 95.4%; CD16/CD56: 0.5%]. This is specific for SCID due to gamma chain deficiency (1pt; PP4).

PM6

The R226C variant arose de novo as a somatic mutation early in embryogenesis in the mother of the patient. The IL2RG variant was not detected in the patient's maternal grandparents, supporting the de novo nature of the mother's somatic mosaicism. As somatic mosaicism is observed, maternity/paternity testing is unnecessary to confirm de novo occurrence given the de novo process is observed in the individual directly. So the full points can be awarded in this case. PMID: 23683512; 1 pt PM6_Moderate.

PM1_Strong

This variant resides within a CpG dinucleotide region, cDNA 676-677 encoding amino acid R226, of IL2RG that is defined as a mutational hotspot (PMID: 7668284) critical functional domain by the ClinGen SCID VCEP (PM1_Strong).

PP3

REVEL score of 0.727 predicts a deleterious effect. Not considered for this gene.

PM5

The additional variant Arg226His has been identified at this amino acid residue but has not yet been evaluated by the SICD VCEP. It has been classified Pathogenic on ClinVar (225196).
