Genes affected
IFIH1 (HGNC:18873): (interferon induced with helicase C domain 1) IFIH1 encodes MDA5 which is an intracellular sensor of viral RNA that triggers the innate immune response. Sensing RNA length and secondary structure, MDA5 binds dsRNA oligonucleotides with a modified DExD/H-box helicase core and a C-terminal domain, thus leading to a proinflammatory response that includes interferons. It has been shown that Coronaviruses (CoVs) as well as various other virus families, are capable of evading the MDA5-dependent interferon response, thus impeding the activation of the innate immune response to infection. MDA5 has also been shown to play an important role in enhancing natural killer cell function in malaria infection. In addition to its protective role in antiviral responses, MDA5 has been implicated in autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases such as type 1 diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 7;C4225427:Singleton-Merten syndrome 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMar 02, 2023This sequence change results in a frameshift in the IFIH1 gene (p.Cys1019Valfs*10). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 7 amino acid(s) of the IFIH1 protein and extend the protein by 2 additional amino acid residues. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with IFIH1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 836873). 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. -
