Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PP4PS3_ModeratePM2_SupportingPM3_SupportingPVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_001033855.3:c.241C>T (p.Arg81Ter) variant in DCLRE1C is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically relevant exon, 3/14, which is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1).The filtering allele frequency (the upper threshold of the 95% CI of 38/1177816 alleles) of the c.241C>T variant in DCLRE1C is 0.00002205 for European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by gnomAD v4, which is lower than the ClinGen SCID VCEP threshold (<0.00003266) for PM2_Supporting, and therefore meets this criterion (PM2_Supporting).Activity levels in % of WT activity = Recombination: Mean (SD): 19.48 (1.56) and DNA repair (36h after IR): Mean (SD): 16.05 (4.77). Both values are lower than our established threshold for abnormal results (defined as <25% of wild-type activity). Thus, PS3 is Met at a moderate level. (PMID:25917813).At least one patient with this variant displayed Diagnostic criteria for SCID/Leaky SCID/Omenn syndrome 0.5pts + T-B-NK+ lymphocyte subset profile 0.5pts; the total is 1 point, which is highly specific for SCID (PP4_Supporting, PMID:11336668). The proband (P2) is homozygous (Table 1) for this variant (0.5pt; PM3_Supporting).In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive severe combined immunodeficiency due to DCLRE1C deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen SCID VCEP: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PS3_Moderate, and PP4_Supporting (VCEP specifications version 1).

Genes affected
DCLRE1C (HGNC:17642): (DNA cross-link repair 1C) This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is involved in V(D)J recombination and DNA repair. The encoded protein has single-strand-specific 5'-3' exonuclease activity; it also exhibits endonuclease activity on 5' and 3' overhangs and hairpins. The protein also functions in the regulation of the cell cycle in response to DNA damage. Mutations in this gene can cause Athabascan-type severe combined immunodeficiency (SCIDA) and Omenn syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

Severe combined immunodeficiency due to DCLRE1C deficiency Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 31, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg81*) in the DCLRE1C gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DCLRE1C are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21664875, 26123418). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908156, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with severe combined immune deficiency (PMID: 11336668, 25917813). This variant is also known as R74X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4665). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Severe combined immunodeficiency disease Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 07, 2023Variant summary: DCLRE1C c.241C>T (p.Arg81X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 250582 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.241C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (example: Moshous_2001). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant impairs normal protein activity (Moshous_2001). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11336668, 12727634). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
