Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 3P and 4B. PM2 PP2 BP4_Strong

The NM_005419.4(STAT2):c.2506C>T(p.Arg836Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000015 in 1,461,870 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R836H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

STAT2 (HGNC:11363): (signal transducer and activator of transcription 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. In response to interferon (IFN), this protein forms a complex with STAT1 and IFN regulatory factor family protein p48 (ISGF3G), in which this protein acts as a transactivator, but lacks the ability to bind DNA directly. The protein mediates innate antiviral activity. Mutations in this gene result in Immunodeficiency 44. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, STAT2
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.048738718).

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 836 of the STAT2 protein (p.Arg836Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs752192658, gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with STAT2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 644497). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt STAT2 protein function. In 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. -
