Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5
The NM_024570.4(RNASEH2B):βc.509delAβ(p.Lys170ArgfsTer9) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000214 in 1,449,496 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
RNASEH2B (HGNC:25671): (ribonuclease H2 subunit B) RNase H2 is composed of a single catalytic subunit (A) and two non-catalytic subunits (B and C) and specifically degrades the RNA of RNA:DNA hybrids. The protein encoded by this gene is the non-catalytic B subunit of RNase H2, which is thought to play a role in DNA replication. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome type 2 (AGS2). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.
PVS1
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 13-50943386-GA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-50943386-GA-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 225455.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 225455). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RNASEH2B-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys170Argfs*9) in the RNASEH2B gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RNASEH2B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17846997). -
