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 replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 539 of the AIRE protein (p.Pro539Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs179363889, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) (PMID: 11836330, 15811934, 17289071, 21295522, 28446514). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68218). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on AIRE protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects AIRE function (PMID: 17675238). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a reduction of transactivation activity compared to normal protein (PMID: 17675238); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21295522, 30018023, 15511668, 28446514, 23000069, 12398240, 17289071, 18713028, 15751604, 11836330, 15811934, 34846681, 17675238) -

The AIRE c.1616C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro539Leu. This variant has been reported, in the homozygous state or compound heterozygous state, in several patients with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) (Meloni et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 11836330; Perry et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15811934; Meyer et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17289071; Mazza et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21295522; Zaidi et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28446514, see Supplementary Table 1). The p.Pro539Leu change occurs at the first residue of the proline-rich PxxPxP motif (residues 539-544) at the very end of the C-terminus of the protein. The fourth LxxLL and the PxxPxP motifs at the C-terminus are critical for the transactivation capacity of the AIRE protein (Meloni et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 17675238). Meloni et al. showed that the p.Pro539Leu substitution resulted in a reduction of 77% in the transactivation activity. This variant has interpretations of Pathogenic and Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/68218/). In summary, the c.1616C>T (p.Pro539Leu) variant is categorized as pathogenic. -
