Genes affected
CD46 (HGNC:6953): (CD46 molecule) The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane protein and is a regulatory part of the complement system. The encoded protein has cofactor activity for inactivation of complement components C3b and C4b by serum factor I, which protects the host cell from damage by complement. In addition, the encoded protein can act as a receptor for the Edmonston strain of measles virus, human herpesvirus-6, and type IV pili of pathogenic Neisseria. Finally, the protein encoded by this gene may be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization. Mutations at this locus have been associated with susceptibility to hemolytic uremic syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant. The majority of the known disease-causing variants of this gene are variants expected to result in premature termination of the protein. Functional studies provide moderate evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 16621965). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.88 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.99 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. The same nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000017049 /PMID: 16621965 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

CD46 p.Cys35Tyr (c.104G>A) is a missense variant that changes the amino acid at residue 35 from Cysteine to Tyrosine. This variant has been observed in at least one proband affected with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (PMID:23307876;16621965;20059470;20203157;28320387;24460647;27718086;29644059). The variant was found to segregate with disease in at least one affected family (PMID:16621965). At least one functional study has demonstrated a substantial alteration in protein function relative to the wild-type (PMID:16621965). It is absent or not present at a significant frequency in gnomAD. In silico models agree that this variant is possibly or probably damaging. In conclusion, we classify CD46 p.Cys35Tyr (c.104G>A) as a pathogenic variant.

Variant summary: CD46 c.104G>A (p.Cys35Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Sushi/SCR/CCP domain (IPR000436) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251344 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.104G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome who were compound heterozygous with a pathogenic CD46 variant and/or carried variants in CFH that ClinVar submitters have classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic (e.g. Caprioli_2006, Bresin_2013, Stevenson_2014). It was also found in a homozygous case (Khandelwal_2018). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein expression, finding that the variant results in a loss of expression of the mature form of the protein (Caprioli_2006). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16621965, 23431077, 24460647, 35372954, 29644059, 28752844, 29046944). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17049). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 35 of the CD46 protein (p.Cys35Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909591, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (PMID: 2431077, 16621965, 24460647). This variant is also known as p.C1Y. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17049). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CD46 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Studies have shown that this missense change alters CD46 gene expression (PMID: 16621965). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
