Genes affected

B2M (HGNC:914): (beta-2-microglobulin) This gene encodes a serum protein found in association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells. The protein has a predominantly beta-pleated sheet structure that can form amyloid fibrils in some pathological conditions. The encoded antimicrobial protein displays antibacterial activity in amniotic fluid. A mutation in this gene has been shown to result in hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 4 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 15-44711566-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-44711566-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2824511.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with B2M-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu7*) in the B2M gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in B2M are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25702838). -
