Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PS1_Very_Strong PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_000536.4(RAG2):​c.283G>C​(p.Gly95Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G95V) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

RAG2 (HGNC:9832): (recombination activating 2) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in the initiation of V(D)J recombination during B and T cell development. This protein forms a complex with the product of the adjacent recombination activating gene 1, and this complex can form double-strand breaks by cleaving DNA at conserved recombination signal sequences. The recombination activating gene 1 component is thought to contain most of the catalytic activity, while the N-terminal of the recombination activating gene 2 component is thought to form a six-bladed propeller in the active core that serves as a binding scaffold for the tight association of the complex with DNA. A C-terminal plant homeodomain finger-like motif in this protein is necessary for interactions with chromatin components, specifically with histone H3 that is trimethylated at lysine 4. Mutations in this gene cause Omenn syndrome, a form of severe combined immunodeficiency associated with autoimmune-like symptoms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000536.4 (RAG2) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-36593885-C-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 4060670.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 56 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 9 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.19672 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.57458 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, NK cell-positive, Omenn syndrome, recombinase activating gene 2 deficiency.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.99
