Genes affected
IL18BP (HGNC:5987): (interleukin 18 binding protein) The protein encoded by this gene functions as an inhibitor of the proinflammatory cytokine, IL18. It binds IL18, prevents the binding of IL18 to its receptor, and thus inhibits IL18-induced IFN-gamma production, resulting in reduced T-helper type 1 immune responses. This protein is constitutively expressed and secreted in mononuclear cells. Elevated level of this protein is detected in the intestinal tissues of patients with Crohn's disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.14529915 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.3, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: cagGTtagg. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMar 08, 2023In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the effect of this variant on mRNA splicing is currently unknown. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with IL18BP-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the IL18BP gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the IL18BP protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
