Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_Strong

The NM_001243133.2(NLRP3):c.779G>A(p.Arg260Gln) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,852 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R260L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 12 uncertain 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 chr1-247424228-G-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 97969.

PP2

Missense variant in the NLRP3 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 55 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 10 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.1417 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.5037 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to CINCA syndrome, Muckle-Wells syndrome, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 1, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome, keratitis fugax hereditaria.
