Genes affected
NLRP3 (HGNC:16400): (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) This gene encodes a pyrin-like protein containing a pyrin domain, a nucleotide-binding site (NBS) domain, and a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) motif. This protein interacts with the apoptosis-associated speck-like protein PYCARD/ASC, which contains a caspase recruitment domain, and is a member of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex. This complex functions as an upstream activator of NF-kappaB signaling, and it plays a role in the regulation of inflammation, the immune response, and apoptosis. The SARS-CoV 3a protein, a transmembrane pore-forming viroporin, has been shown to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome via the formation of ion channels in macrophages. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS), Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS), chronic infantile neurological cutaneous and articular (CINCA) syndrome, neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), keratoendotheliitis fugax hereditarian, and deafness, autosomal dominant 34, with or without inflammation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Alternative 5' UTR structures are suggested by available data; however, insufficient evidence is available to determine if all of the represented 5' UTR splice patterns are biologically valid.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesJun 08, 2017The NLRP3 c.214G>A;p.Val72Met variant has been listed in the medical literature in at least two individuals with autoinflammatory disease (Nakayama 2017). The variant is listed in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 245593) and in the dbSNP variant database (rs117287351) with an allele frequency of up to 0.9 percent (171/18868 alleles) in East Asians in the Genome Aggregation Database. The amino acid at this position is conserved across species and computational algorithms (PolyPhen2, SIFT) predict this variant is deleterious. Considering available information, the clinical significance cannot be determined with certainty. If this variant is later determined to be pathogenic, this individual is predicted to be affected with autosomal dominant CINCA syndrome, Familial cold-induced inflammatory syndrome, or Muckle-Wells syndrome (OMIM#606416).
