Genes affected
IL21R (HGNC:6006): (interleukin 21 receptor) The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine receptor for interleukin 21 (IL21). It belongs to the type I cytokine receptors, and has been shown to form a heterodimeric receptor complex with the common gamma-chain, a receptor subunit also shared by the receptors for interleukin 2, 4, 7, 9, and 15. This receptor transduces the growth promoting signal of IL21, and is important for the proliferation and differentiation of T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. The ligand binding of this receptor leads to the activation of multiple downstream signaling molecules, including JAK1, JAK3, STAT1, and STAT3. Knockout studies of a similar gene in mouse suggest a role for this gene in regulating immunoglobulin production. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Submissions by phenotype

Cryptosporidiosis-chronic cholangitis-liver disease syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 14, 2022This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 165 of the IL21R protein (p.Asp165Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs779790998, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with IL21R-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 540992). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The glutamic acid amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 24, 2023The c.561C>A (p.D187E) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 5) of the IL21R gene. This alteration results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 561, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 187 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
