Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001243133.2(NLRP3):​c.1055C>T​(p.Ala352Val) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A352T) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_001243133.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-247424503-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 97912.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, NLRP3
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.979
• PP5: Variant 1-247424504-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-247424504-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 4373.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr1-247424504-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Ala354 amino acid residue in NLRP3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with NLRP3-related conditions (PMID: 26931528), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. This variant has been reported to affect NLRP3 protein function (PMID: 19501000, 29322034). This variant has been observed to segregate with Muckle-Wells syndrome in a family and has been reported in unrelated individuals affected with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (PMID: 11687797, 30431487, 21109514, 29047407). This variant is also known as p.Ala352Val in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4373). This sequence change replaces alanine with valine at codon 354 of the NLRP3 protein (p.Ala354Val). The alanine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and valine. -
