Antibody Deficiencies VCEP
NM_005026.5(PIK3CD):c.1573G>A (p.Glu525Lys) is a missense variant causing substitution of glutamate with lysine at amino acid 525. At least two other missense variants affecting the same amino acid residue, NM_005026.5(PIK3CD):c.1574A>G (p.Glu525Gly) and NM_005026.5(PIK3CD):c.1574A>G (p.Glu525Ala), are described in the PIK3CD literature (PMID: 34692603). However, PM5 has not been evaluated in order to avoid circularity. This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1.0 (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been reported in at least 5 unrelated probands meeting the VCEP standard for phenotypic criteria. In 3 cases, the proband reached 6 phenotypic points with genotyping that excluded causes in other loci (PMID: 24165795). In 2 other cases, the proband exceeded 10 phenotype points but lacked genotyping that excluded causes in other loci (PMID: 28190860, PMID: 28104464; PS4). A 6th family was reported in multiple publications but did not reach sufficient phenotype points for inclusion (PMID: 27577878, PMID: 28327206, PMID: 29330011). At least one patient harboring this variant had a phenotype including recurrent sinopulmonary infections (4 pts), chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (3 pts), lymphocytic infiltration of various mucosa, and high B memory cells, as well as use of whole exome sequencing-based genotyping to rule out alternative genetic causes in other loci, which together was not sufficient to establish specificity for immunodeficiency 14, so PP4 was not met. Additionally, AKT phosphorylation at Thr308 in patient CD4+ or CD8+ T cell blasts was increased relative to control cells from healthy control patients (PMID: 24165795). This variant has been identified as a potential de novo occurrence with untested parental relationships in 1 individual, which was insufficient to apply the PS2_Moderate code (PMID: 27577878). The most recent genotyping analysis of this individual yielded a result more consistent with full heterozygosity (PMID: 29330011). The variant has been reported to segregate with the immunodeficiency phenotype within the proband and 2 additional affected family members in at least two apparently unrelated families (PMID: 24165795, PMID: 29330011, PP1_Strong). AKT kinase activity assays (both in vitro), lipid kinase activity assay, PIK3R1 protein binding assay, and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry-based conformational dynamics assays collectively support a damaging effect of the variant on the gene product (PS3_Supporting, PMID: 24165795, PMID: 28167755). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.400, which is below the ClinGen Antibody Deficiencies VCEP threshold of >0.644 and does not predict a damaging effect on PIK3CD function. The computational predictor CADD gives a PHRED score of 29.6, which is above the ClinGen Antibody Deficiencies VCEP threshold of >25.3 and predicts a deleterious effect on PIK3CD function. Because the two predictors do not agree on a damaging effect, the PP3 code is not met. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for immunodeficiency 14 based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Antibody Deficiencies VCEP: PS4, PS3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, and PP1_Strong. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0).
Met criteria codes
PP1_Strong
The variant has been reported to segregate with the immunodeficiency phenotype within the proband and 2 additional affected family members in at least two apparently unrelated families (PMID: 24165795, PMID: 29330011, PP1_Strong). 3 related individuals have been reported in another publication (PMID: 27555459), and may or may not represent a third independent family.
PS4
This variant has been reported in at least 5 unrelated probands meeting the VCEP standard for phenotypic criteria. In 3 cases, the proband reached 6 phenotypic points with genotyping that excluded causes in other loci (PMID: 24165795). In 2 other cases, the proband exceeded 10 phenotype points but lacked genotyping that excluded causes in other loci (PMID: 28190860, PMID: 28104464; PS4). A 6th family was reported in multiple publications but did not reach sufficient phenotype points for inclusion (PMID: 27577878, PMID: 28327206, PMID: 29330011).
PM2_Supporting
This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1.0 (PM2_Supporting).
PS3_Supporting
AKT kinase activity assays (in vitro), lipid kinase activity assay, and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry-based conformational dynamics assays collectively support a gain of function effect caused by the variant (PS3_Supporting, PMID: 24165795, PMID: 28167755).
Not Met criteria codes
PP4
At least one patient harboring this variant had a phenotype including recurrent sinopulmonary infections (4 pts), chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (2 pts), lymphocytic infiltration of various mucosa, and high B memory cells, as well as use of whole exome sequencing-based genotyping to rule out alternative genetic causes in other loci, which together was not sufficient to establish specificity for immunodeficiency 14, so PP4 was not met. Additionally, AKT phosphorylation at Thr308 in patient CD4+ or CD8+ T cell blasts was increased relative to control cells from healthy control patients (PMID: 24165795).
PP3
The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.400, which is below the ClinGen Antibody Deficiencies VCEP threshold of >0.644 and does not predict a damaging effect on PIK3CD function. The computational predictor CADD gives a PHRED score of 29.6, which is above the ClinGen Antibody Deficiencies VCEP threshold of >25.3 and predicts a deleterious effect on PIK3CD function. Because the two predictors do not agree on a damaging effect, the PP3 code is not met.
PM5
At least two other missense variants affecting the same amino acid residue, NM_005026.5(PIK3CD):c.1574A>C (p.Glu525Ala) and NM_005026.5(PIK3CD):c.1574A>G (p.Glu525Ala) are described in the PIK3CD literature (PMID34692603). However, PM5 has not been evaluated in order to avoid circularity.

This variant has been identified as a potential de novo occurrence with untested parental relationships in 1 individual, which was insufficient to apply the PS2_Moderate code (PMID: 27577878).
