Genes affected

NLRP12 (HGNC:22938): (NLR family pyrin domain containing 12) This gene encodes a member of the CATERPILLER family of cytoplasmic proteins. The encoded protein, which contains an N-terminal pyrin domain, a NACHT domain, a NACHT-associated domain, and a C-terminus leucine-rich repeat region, functions as an attenuating factor of inflammation by suppressing inflammatory responses in activated monocytes. Mutations in this gene cause familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome type 2. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]

NLRP12 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.053358443 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6, offset of 1, new splice context is: ctcctcttttccaccccaAGctg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 536929). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NLRP12-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 4 of the NLRP12 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), however the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in NLRP12 cause disease. -
