Genes affected
CIITA (HGNC:7067): (class II major histocompatibility complex transactivator) This gene encodes a protein with an acidic transcriptional activation domain, 4 LRRs (leucine-rich repeats) and a GTP binding domain. The protein is located in the nucleus and acts as a positive regulator of class II major histocompatibility complex gene transcription, and is referred to as the "master control factor" for the expression of these genes. The protein also binds GTP and uses GTP binding to facilitate its own transport into the nucleus. Once in the nucleus it does not bind DNA but rather uses an intrinsic acetyltransferase (AT) activity to act in a coactivator-like fashion. Mutations in this gene have been associated with bare lymphocyte syndrome type II (also known as hereditary MHC class II deficiency or HLA class II-deficient combined immunodeficiency), increased susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and possibly myocardial infarction. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 96 of the CIITA protein (p.Ala96Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs149253747, gnomAD 0.08%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CIITA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 528783). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The c.286G>A (p.A96T) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the CIITA gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 286, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 96 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

CIITA NM_000246.3 exon 3 p.Ala96Thr (c.286G>A):This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 0.08% (60/68036) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-10895755-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:528783). Evolutionary conservation for this variant is unclear; computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may not impact the protein. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
