Genes affected
CARD9 (HGNC:16391): (caspase recruitment domain family member 9) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the CARD protein family, which is defined by the presence of a characteristic caspase-associated recruitment domain (CARD). CARD is a protein interaction domain known to participate in activation or suppression of CARD containing members of the caspase family, and thus plays an important regulatory role in cell apoptosis. This protein was identified by its selective association with the CARD domain of BCL10, a postive regulator of apoptosis and NF-kappaB activation, and is thought to function as a molecular scaffold for the assembly of a BCL10 signaling complex that activates NF-kappaB. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but their full-length nature is not clearly defined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is present in population databases (rs121918338, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln295*) in the CARD9 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CARD9 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19864672, 24131138, 24231284). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with severe and/or recurrent fungal infections (PMID: 19864672, 25702837, 25933095, 27777981, 29307770). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3406). -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:curation

Pathogenic missense variant in the CARD9 gene (NM_052813.5:c.883C>T), identified through curation. This novel germline alteration is homozygous and follows autosomal recessive inheritance. The variant is absent from major population databases such as gnomAD (PM2), and affects a conserved residue crucial for CARD9-mediated immune signaling. While computational evidence supports a deleterious impact (PP3), experimental validation and clinical correlation would further clarify pathogenicity. No prior entries exist in ClinVar or literature. ACMG classification is supported by PM2, PP3, and PP4 (if clinical features align with CARD9 deficiency phenotypes). -
