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:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpAug 14, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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 LIG4 protein function. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with LIG4 syndrome (PMID: 26762768). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.06%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 278 of the LIG4 protein (p.Arg278Leu). -
Severe combined immunodeficiency disease Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 03, 2024Variant summary: LIG4 c.833G>T (p.Arg278Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA ligase, ATP-dependent, central domain (IPR012310) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250408 control chromosomes. c.833G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency and has been suggested as a founder mutation in Chinese (example, Luo_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34630384). No submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
