Genes affected
UNC13D (HGNC:23147): (unc-13 homolog D) This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the UNC13 family, containing similar domain structure as other family members but lacking an N-terminal phorbol ester-binding C1 domain present in other Munc13 proteins. The protein appears to play a role in vesicle maturation during exocytosis and is involved in regulation of cytolytic granules secretion. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis type 3, a genetically heterogeneous, rare autosomal recessive disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaAug 29, 2018The UNC13D c.766C>T (p.Arg256Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in a premature termination of the protein. The c.766C>T (p.Arg256Ter) variant has been reported in five studies and is found in seven individuals with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in a compound heterozygous state (Feldmann et al. 2003; Zur Stadt et al. 2006; Nagai et al. 2010; Zhizhuo et al. 2012; Qian et al. 2014). The variant was absent from 276 control subjects and is present at a frequency of 0.000046 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Western blotting experiments showed that the p.Arg256Ter variant resulted in an absence of protein expression (Nagai et al. 2010). Due to the potential impact of stop-gained variants and the supporting evidence from the literature, the p.Arg256Ter variant is considered to be pathogenic for familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 06, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg256*) in the UNC13D gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in UNC13D are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14622600). This variant is present in population databases (rs121434352, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (PMID: 14622600, 21152410, 21674762, 24470399). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2000). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

UNC13D-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesApr 05, 2024The UNC13D c.766C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg256*). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in siblings with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) (Feldman et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 14622600). Protein truncating variants located throughout the UNC13D gene have been reported in several patients with FHL and the p.Arg256* variant is consistent with being a primary cause of disease when present in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state (Meeths et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21931115; Tesi et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26684649; OMIM #608898). This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and has been interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/2000). We interpret this variant as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 18, 2019The R256X nonsense variant has been reported previously in trans with another pathogenic variant in association with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (Feldmann et al., 2003). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
