Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease VCEP
The c.1357T>A (NM_000536.4) variant in RAG2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Tryptophan by Arginine at amino acid 453 (p.Trp453Arg). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). It resides within a region, [amino acids 414 – 487, PHD domain], of RAG2 that is defined as a mutational hotspot/critical functional domain by the ClinGen SCID VCEP (PMID: 26996199) (PM1_Moderate). The results found by Tirosh et al., show a mean recombination activity (% of WT hRAG2): 0.6, SEM 0.1., which is below the threshold described by our VCEP (<25% of wild-type activity), so PS3 is met at a moderate level of evidence (PS3_moderate). One patient is homozygous for this variant (0.5 pt, reported in PMID: 12200379 and PMID: 29772310). One patient is heterozygous for G95R (Reported in PMID: 29772310 and PMID: 10891502). Despite the LP level of the G95R, we already applied points for this heterozygous occurrence evaluating that variant, so we will not apply here to avoid circularity - according to SVI Recommendation for in trans Criterion (PM3) - Version 1.0. (PM3_supporting). At least one patient in the literature present: T-/lowB-/low lymphocyte subset profile (0.5 pt) + Diagnostic criteria for Omenn syndrome (0.5 pt), total 1.0 pt, PP4 met (PMID: 10891502). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Pathogenic for autosomal recessive SCID based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, PM1, PS3_moderate, PP4, PM2_supporting, and PM3_supporting, as specified by the ClinGen SCID VCEP (VCEP specifications version 1)
Met criteria codes
PP4
Reported in 2 patients with Omenn syndrome, one homozygous and one heterozygous (but phase unknown) with p.G95R. PMID: 10891502, 12200379. At least one patient meets PP4 at regular strength (no modifications).
PM3_Supporting
Homozygous occurrence = 0.5p, which qualifies for PM3_Supporting. Also co-occurs phase unknown with p.G95R (classified as Likely Pathogenic by SCID VCEP) - since phase unknown, this is worth 0.25p. Total 0.75p, PM3 met at supporting strength.
PM2_Supporting
Absent from gnomAD v2.1.1.
PM1
Missense variant located in the PHD domain (amino acids 414-487), qualifies for PM1 (regular strength, no modifications) as per SCID VCEP specifications for RAG2.
PS3_Moderate
At least one patient must meet PP4 criteria in order to apply PS3 (and we have 1 patient who meets PP4), so variant is eligible for PS3 criteria. V(D)J recombinase activity for this variant is < 25% of wild type, this meets PS3 criteria at moderate strength (PMID: 29772310, 18033247).
