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]

DNA ligase IV deficiency Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 03, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg580*) in the LIG4 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 332 amino acid(s) of the LIG4 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs104894418, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with LIG4-related conditions (PMID: 11779494). 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: 7672). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects LIG4 function (PMID: 15333585, 23337116). This variant disrupts a region of the LIG4 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg814*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1779494, 5333585, 16088910, 24123394, 24892279, 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. -
