Genes affected

AIRE (HGNC:360): (autoimmune regulator) This gene encodes a transcriptional regulator that forms nuclear bodies and interacts with the transcriptional coactivator CREB binding protein. The encoded protein plays an important role in immunity by regulating the expression of autoantigens and negative selection of autoreactive T-cells in the thymus. Mutations in this gene cause the rare autosomal-recessive systemic autoimmune disease termed autoimmune polyendocrinopathy with candidiasis and ectodermal dystrophy (APECED).

Polyglandular autoimmune syndrome, type 1 Pathogenic:4

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Natera, Inc.	Jun 10, 2020	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 18, 2024	This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 85 of the AIRE protein (p.Tyr85Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs179363882, gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive AIRE-related conditions (PMID: 10677297, 12050215, 25367057). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68222). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt AIRE protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects AIRE function (PMID: 12471056, 14974083, 16114041). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Dec 09, 2019	NM_000383.3(AIRE):c.254A>G(Y85C) is classified as pathogenic in the context of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 12471056, 14974083, 16114041, 18708298 and 10677297. Classification of NM_000383.3(AIRE):c.254A>G(Y85C) is based on the following criteria: This is a well-established pathogenic variant in the literature that has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
