Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001243133.2(NLRP3):​c.1315G>A​(p.Ala439Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A439P) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a helix (size 10) in uniprot entity NLRP3_HUMAN there are 5 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_001243133.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-247424764-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), NLRP3. . Gene score misZ 2.1417 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.5037 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, keratitis fugax hereditaria, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome, Muckle-Wells syndrome, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 1, CINCA syndrome.
• PP5: Variant 1-247424764-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-247424764-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 97925.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr1-247424764-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 441 of the NLRP3 protein (p.Ala441Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (PMID: 11992256, 28079503). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Ala439Thr. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 97925). 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 NLRP3 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Ala441 amino acid residue in NLRP3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11687797, 15801036, 25596455, 26245507, 26931528, 27134254). 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. -
