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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 18, 2023Variant summary: UNC13D c.753+3G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0025 in 251412 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.018 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 7 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in UNC13D causing Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis phenotype (0.0027), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.753+3G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (Chang_2011) without evidence for causality. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21370424). Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified as benign/likely benign (n=5) and VUS (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJun 22, 2016This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
