Genes affected

LIG4 (HGNC:6601): (DNA ligase 4) The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA ligase that joins single-strand breaks in a double-stranded polydeoxynucleotide in an ATP-dependent reaction. This protein is essential for V(D)J recombination and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair through nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). This protein forms a complex with the X-ray repair cross complementing protein 4 (XRCC4), and further interacts with the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). Both XRCC4 and DNA-PK are known to be required for NHEJ. The crystal structure of the complex formed by this protein and XRCC4 has been resolved. Defects in this gene are the cause of LIG4 syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg505Leufs*9) in the LIG4 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 407 amino acid(s) of the LIG4 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs759838407, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LIG4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1338655). This variant disrupts a region of the LIG4 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg814*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11779494, 16088910, 24123394, 25239263, 27063650, 27612988). 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. -

DNA sequence analysis of the LIG4 gene demonstrated a two base pair duplication in exon 2, c.1512_1513dup. This pathogenic sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon nine amino acids downstream of the duplication, p.Arg505Leufs*9. This pathogenic sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated LIG4 protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.0087% in the Latino/Admixed American subpopulation (dbSNP rs759838407). This pathogenic sequence change does not appear to have previously been described in individuals with LIG4-related disorders. Collectively, these evidences indicate that this sequence change is pathogenic, however functional studies have not been performed to prove this conclusively. -
