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.

The NLRP3 c.1469G>A; p.Arg490Lys variant (rs145268073), also known as Arg488Lys, is published in the medical literature in several individuals with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) as well as unaffected family members (Arostegui 2004, Haverkamp 2014, Kuemmerle-Deschner 2017, Rae 2018, Rowczenio 2013). The variant has been implicated as a low penetrance variant that shows variable expressivity (Kuemmerle-Deschner 2017, Rowczenio 2013). The variant is listed in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 97934) and in the general population with an allele frequency of 0.07% (188/281,098 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 490 is highly conserved but computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.591). While the high population frequency suggests that this is likely a benign variant, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Arg490Lys variant is uncertain at this time.

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

The NLRP3 c.1469G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg490Lys. This variant, previously reported as p.Arg488Lys, has been reported in unaffected individuals, individuals with atypical inflammatory syndrome and an individual with familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome/FACS (Haverkamp et al 2014. PubMed ID: 24773462; Arostegui et al 2004. PubMed ID: 15593220; Kuemmerle-Deschner et al 2017. PubMed ID: 28692792). The c.1469G>A variant has been reported with low penetrance, is found in 0.12% of Non-Finnish Europeans and has been interpreted as likely benign and uncertain in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/97934/). Without additional conclusive evidence, the clinical significance of the c.1469G>A (p.Arg490Lys) variant is currently uncertain. -
