Genes affected

AIRE (HGNC:360): (autoimmune regulator) This gene encodes a transcriptional regulator that forms nuclear bodies and interacts with the transcriptional coactivator CREB binding protein. The encoded protein plays an important role in immunity by regulating the expression of autoantigens and negative selection of autoreactive T-cells in the thymus. Mutations in this gene cause the rare autosomal-recessive systemic autoimmune disease termed autoimmune polyendocrinopathy with candidiasis and ectodermal dystrophy (APECED).

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg139*) in the AIRE gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AIRE are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11524731, 26141571). This variant is present in population databases (rs121434256, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) (PMID: 9856486, 22024611). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3310). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: AIRE c.415C>T (p.Arg139X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.5e-05 in 242012 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.415C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous- and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 (e.g. Rosatelli_1998, Zaidi_2017). The variant has been found predominantly in individuals and families of Italian (Sardinian) origin therefore, suggesting it is a founder mutation. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A ClinVar submission (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The R139X nonsense variant has been reported previously in association with APECED (Rosatelli et al., 1998; Giordano et al., 2012). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Additionally, the variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Therefore, we consider the variant to be pathogenic. -
