Genes affected
C9 (HGNC:1358): (complement C9) This gene encodes the final component of the complement system. It participates in the formation of the Membrane Attack Complex (MAC). The MAC assembles on bacterial membranes to form a pore, permitting disruption of bacterial membrane organization. Mutations in this gene cause component C9 deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
C9 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):
  • complement component 9 deficiency

PP5
Variant 5-39341276-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-39341276-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 17040.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000658 (962/1461760) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.0218 (865/39700). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0206. There are 14 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 464 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 14 Unknown,AR geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

NM_001737.3:c.346C>T in the C9 gene has an allele frequency of 0.01 in East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The C9 c.346C>T (p.Arg116*) variant has been reported in five Japanese C9-deficient patients in homozygous states (PMID: 9703418; 11359403). Another study revealed that eight of the 10 C9D subjects were homozygous for this variant, which was assumed to be a founder mutation in Japanese (PMID: 9570574). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Taken together, we interprete this variant as Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1; PM3; PS4.

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with C9 deficiency (MIM#613825). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0305 - Variant is present in gnomAD >=0.01 and <0.03 for a recessive condition (v2: 224 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; v3: 87 heterozygotes, 1 homozygote). (I) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic in multiple individuals with C9 deficiency and is regarded as a Japanese founder variant (ClinVar, PMID: 9570574). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg116*) in the C9 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in C9 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9144525, 9570574). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909592, gnomAD 1.0%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with complement component 9 (C9) deficiency (PMID: 9570574, 9703418, 12596049, 22190594). It is commonly reported in individuals of East Asian ancestry (PMID: 9570574, 9703418, 12596049, 22190594). This variant is also known as Arg95*. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17040). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
