Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1PP4PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_002185.5(IL7R):c.361dup (p.Ile121AsnfsTer8) frameshift variant in exon 3 creates a premature stop codon in exon 4/5 (upstream of the final 50 nucleotides), which is predicted to lead to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). This variant has been reported in several SCID patients (PMIDs: 35503492, 24759676, 32765500, 28436970, 25046553), at least one of whom was reported with a highly specific phenotype; the diagnosis of SCID was made by criteria of the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium in this patient with a T−BlowNK+ (0 CD3+ cells/mm, 300 B cells/mm3, 450 NK cells/mm3) lymphocyte subset profile (PMID:35503492; PP4). The filtering allele frequency based on the European (non-Finnish) population (upper bound of 95% CI of 9/128422 observed alleles) is 0.00002867 in gnomAD v2.1.1 which is below the SCID-VCEP threshold (<0.00004129) and therefore meets this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive SCID based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen SCID VCEP. Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_supporting, PP4. (VCEP specifications version 1). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA357950/MONDO:0012163/119

Genes affected
IL7R (HGNC:6024): (interleukin 7 receptor) The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for interleukin 7 (IL7). The function of this receptor requires the interleukin 2 receptor, gamma chain (IL2RG), which is a common gamma chain shared by the receptors of various cytokines, including interleukins 2, 4, 7, 9, and 15. This protein has been shown to play a critical role in V(D)J recombination during lymphocyte development. Defects in this gene may be associated with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

The filtering allele frequency based on the European (non-Finnish) population (upper bound of 95% CI of 9/128422 observed alleles) is 0.00002867 in gnomAD v2.1.1 which is below the SCID-VCEP threshold (<0.00004129) and therefore meets this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive SCID based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen SCID VCEP.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 29, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile121Asnfs*8) in the IL7R gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in IL7R are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21664875, 26123418). This variant is present in population databases (rs781000678, gnomAD 0.008%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of severe combined immunodeficiency (PMID: 24759676, 25046553). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224841). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Severe combined immunodeficiency disease Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 11, 2022Variant summary: IL7R c.361dupA (p.Ile121AsnfsX8) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 249940 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.361dupA, has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous individuals affected with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (e.g. Bayer_2014, Zago_2014, Dvorak_2017, Stray-Pedersen_2017 and Kwok_2020). 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. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic (n=3) or likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
