Genes affected
TREX1 (HGNC:12269): (three prime repair exonuclease 1) This gene encodes a nuclear protein with 3' exonuclease activity. The encoded protein may play a role in DNA repair and serve as a proofreading function for DNA polymerase. Mutations in this gene result in Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome, chilblain lupus, Cree encephalitis, and other diseases of the immune system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2012]
ATRIP (HGNC:33499): (ATR interacting protein) This gene encodes an essential component of the DNA damage checkpoint. The encoded protein binds to single-stranded DNA coated with replication protein A. The protein also interacts with the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3 related protein kinase, resulting in its accumulation at intranuclear foci induced by DNA damage. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 1 Pathogenic:3

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: curation

The homozygous p.Thr49HisfsTer53 variant in TREX1 was identified by our study in one individual with Aicardi Goutieres syndrome. The p.Thr49HisfsTer53 variant in TREX1 has been previously reported in 4 unrelated individuals with Aicardi Goutieres syndrome 1 (PMID: 25604658, PMID: 33099809, PMID: 32860008) but has been identified in 0.007% (1/15274) of Latino/Admixed American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs748914604). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Of these 4 previously reported unrelated individuals (PMID: 25604658, PMID: 33099809, PMID: 32860008), 2 were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the p.Thr49HisfsTer53 variant is pathogenic. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 282766) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple submitters. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 49 and leads to a premature termination codon 53 amino acids downstream. This termination codon occurs within the last exon and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and result in a truncated protein. Loss of function of the TREX1 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Aicardi Goutieres syndrome 1. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive Aicardi Goutieres syndrome 1.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The TREX1 c.144dupC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Thr49Hisfs*53). This variant has been reported in the homozygous state or with a second TREX1 variant in individuals with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (see, for example, Crow et al 2015. PubMed ID: 25604658; Table S3, Rice et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27943079; described as c.137_138insC, Wu et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33996686). This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD; however, the quality of this data is questionable and should be treated with caution. Frameshift variants in TREX1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr49Hisfs*53) in the TREX1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 266 amino acid(s) of the TREX1 protein. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (PMID: 25604658). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 282766). This variant disrupts a region of the TREX1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg164*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16845398, 25604658). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
