Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Clinical Genomics Laboratory, Stanford Medicine | Dec 05, 2019 | The p.Ala177Thr variant in the RNASEH2B gene has been previously reported in >20 unrelated individuals with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (Garau et al., 2019). All individuals were homozygous or compound heterozygous. This variant has also been identified in 290/129,040 European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Well-established in vivo and in vitro functional studies of the p.Ala177Thr variant strongly suggest a deleterious effect to the protein that is sufficient to be disease-causing (Mackenzie et al., 2016; Pizzi et al., 2014). These data were assessed using the ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines. In summary, there is sufficient evidence to classify the p.Ala177Thr variant as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Aicardi-Goutières syndrome based on the information above.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina | Jan 09, 2023 | The RNASEH2B c.529G>A (p.Ala177Thr) missense variant results in the substitution of alanine at amino acid position 177 with threonine. Across a selection of the available literature, this variant has been reported in at least 22 individuals in a homozygous state and at least 12 individuals in a compound heterozygous state, including a sibling pair (PMID: 25604658; PMID: 29239743; PMID: 31130681; PMID: 30826161; PMID: 18754903). The highest frequency of this allele in the Genome Aggregation Database is 0.002618 in the Latino/Admixed American population (version 3.1.2). This frequency is consistent with the fact that it is the mostly commonly identified variant in individuals with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (PMID: 25243380; PMID: 31130681). Structural and functional studies, including in patient fibroblasts and mouse embryonic fibroblasts from an orthologous knock-in model, have demonstrated that the p.Ala177Thr substitution reduces RNase H2 subunit expression, disrupts the interaction interface of RNASEH2B with RNASEH2C, impairs complex stability, and reduces cellular RNase H2 activity (PMID: 26903602; PMID: 21177858; PMID: 21177854). Homozygous knock-in mice also recapitulate the interferon-stimulated gene signature observed in human patients with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. Based on the available evidence, the c.529G>A (p.Ala177Thr) variant is classified as pathogenic for Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 31, 2024 | This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 177 of the RNASEH2B protein (p.Ala177Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs75184679, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, and unspecified neurological disorders (PMID: 16845400, 17846997, 18754903, 19694776, 20131292, 25243380, 25343331, 25604658, 26182405, 26846091). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1262). 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 RNASEH2B protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RNASEH2B function (PMID: 19015152, 19034401, 26903602). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 3billion | Mar 22, 2022 | The variant has been observed in multiple (>3) similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 16845400). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 4 similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 16845400)(PM3_VS). Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 26903602). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.614>=0.6). The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency:0.0015308). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Clinical Genomics Laboratory, Washington University in St. Louis | Nov 08, 2023 | The RNASEH2B c.529G>A (p.Ala177Thr) variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in many individuals affected with AGS and related disorders (Beysen D et al., PMID: 33967934; Crow YJ et al., PMID: 16845400; Lambe J et al., PMID: 31920009; Pizzi S et al., PMID: 25274781; Rice G et al., PMID: 17846997; Videira G et al., PMID: 32258229). In at least three families, affected individuals who were homozygous for this variant showed marked intrafamilial and interfamilial phenotypic variability (Videira G et al., PMID: 32258229). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in by several submitters. The highest population minor allele frequency in the population database genome aggregation database (v.2.1.1) is 0.2% in the European (non-Finnish) population which is compatible with carrier status for AGS and consistent with this variant being the most commonly identified causative variant (Rice G et al., PMID: 17846997). While computational predictors are uncertain as to the impact of this variant on the RNASEH2B protein, functional studies have shown a modest alteration of enzymatic activity and homozygous knock-in mice recapitulate the interferon-stimulated gene signature observed in human patients with AGS (Chon H et al., PMID: 19015152; Mackenzie KJ et al., PMID: 26903602; Perrino FW et al., PMID: 19034401; Pizzi S et al., PMID: 25274781).

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Center for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago | Apr 16, 2021 | RNASEH2B NM_024570.3 exon 7 p.Ala177Thr (c.529G>A):This variant has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS) in the compound heterozygous and homozygous state and is reported to be the most common pathogenic variant associated with this condition (Selected publications: Crow 2006 PMID:16845400, Al-Mutairi 2018 PMID:29239743, Issa 2020 PMID:32404165, Videira 2020 PMID:32258229). This variant is present in 0.2% (40/15278) of Latino alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-50945445-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r3). Please note, disease causing variants may be present in control databases at low frequencies, reflective of the general population, carrier status, and/or variable expressivity. This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic (Variation ID:1262). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. Functional studies, including a knock-in mouse model predict that this variant will impact the protein and result in downstream instability (Lim 2015 PMID:26182405, Pizzi 2015 PMID:25274781, Mackenzie 2016 PMID:26903602). However, these studies may not accurately represent in vivo biological function and at least one study suggests that the ribonuclease H activities from this variant were comparable to WT (Perrino 2009 PMID:19034401). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic based on the data above. - |

Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RNASEH2B function Mackenzie et al. 2016. The p.Ala177Thr variant has allele frequency of 0.1% in gnomAD Exomes database. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as likely Pathogenic/ Pathogenic multiple submitters. Multiple lines of computational evidence Polyphen - Probabaly Damaging, SIFT - Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing predict damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The reference amino acid in RNASEH2B is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Ala at position 177 is changed to a Thr changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
