Genes affected
RAG1 (HGNC:9831): (recombination activating 1) The protein encoded by this gene is involved in activation of immunoglobulin V-D-J recombination. The encoded protein is involved in recognition of the DNA substrate, but stable binding and cleavage activity also requires RAG2. Defects in this gene can be the cause of several diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
RAG2 (HGNC:9832): (recombination activating 2) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in the initiation of V(D)J recombination during B and T cell development. This protein forms a complex with the product of the adjacent recombination activating gene 1, and this complex can form double-strand breaks by cleaving DNA at conserved recombination signal sequences. The recombination activating gene 1 component is thought to contain most of the catalytic activity, while the N-terminal of the recombination activating gene 2 component is thought to form a six-bladed propeller in the active core that serves as a binding scaffold for the tight association of the complex with DNA. A C-terminal plant homeodomain finger-like motif in this protein is necessary for interactions with chromatin components, specifically with histone H3 that is trimethylated at lysine 4. Mutations in this gene cause Omenn syndrome, a form of severe combined immunodeficiency associated with autoimmune-like symptoms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Severe combined immunodeficiency disease Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 28, 2023Variant summary: RAG1 c.2333G>A (p.Arg778Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251206 control chromosomes. c.2333G>A has been reported in the literature in homozygote and compound heterozygote individuals affected with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (examples: Scheutz_2008, Kumanovics_2017, Vignesh_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal VDJ recombination activity (examples: Scheutz_2008, Lee_2014). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27609655, 24290284, 18463379, 33628209). Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, classifying the variant as pathogenic (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 14, 2017The R778Q variant has been published previously in association with RAG1-associated disorders (Schuetz et al., 2008; Nijman et al., 2014; Kumánovics et al., 2017). The variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). R778Q is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species; in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. However, functional studies have shown R778Q significantly reduces V(D)J recombination activity in comparison to wild-type (Schuetz et al., 2008; Lee et al., 2014). Additionally, missense variants in the same codon (R778G/W) and in a nearby residue (R776W/Q) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with RAG1-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. In summary, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -
Severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, NK cell-positive;C2673536:Combined immunodeficiency with skin granulomas Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 15, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 778 of the RAG1 protein (p.Arg778Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with "leaky" SCID and/or severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) (PMID: 18463379, 24290284, 27609655, 33628209). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13158). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on RAG1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RAG1 function (PMID: 24290284). This variant disrupts the p.Arg778 amino acid residue in RAG1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16960852, 24144642, 24290284, 26476733; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
