Genes affected
CD8A (HGNC:1706): (CD8 subunit alpha) The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen acts as a coreceptor with the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class I MHC molecules. The coreceptor functions as either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains or as a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. This gene encodes the CD8 alpha chain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The major protein isoforms of this gene differ by the presence or absence of a transmembrane domain and thus differ in being a membrane-anchored or secreted protein. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

Susceptibility to respiratory infections associated with CD8alpha chain mutation Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCenter for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoMar 30, 2021CD8A NM_001768.6 exon 6 p.Tyr234* (c.702delC): This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 1/109882 European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/rs747233306). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. This variant is a deletion of 1 nucleotide and creates a premature stop at this codon which is predicted to result in an absent or abnormal protein. However, there is insufficient evidence to establish loss of function as a disease mechanism for this gene. In addition, this variant occurs within the last exon of this gene; due to its position, it is possible that this protein may escape nonsense mediated decay. Further studies are needed to understand its impact. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 10, 2021This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr234*) in the CD8A gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 2 amino acid(s) of the CD8A protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with CD8A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 626081). 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. -
