Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_001243133.2(NLRP3):​c.1568T>G​(p.Phe523Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. F523L) 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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 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, 4 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 chr1-247425018-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• 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 familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, keratitis fugax hereditaria, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome, Muckle-Wells syndrome, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 1, CINCA syndrome.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.942
• PP5: Variant 1-247425017-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-247425017-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 97936.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr1-247425017-T-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant disrupts the p.Phe525 amino acid residue in NLRP3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12483741). 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) (PMID: 17284928, 24773462, 26931528, 29047407, Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. In the literature, this gene is also known as CIAS1, and this variant is also known as F523C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 97936). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with cysteine at codon 525 of the NLRP3 protein (p.Phe525Cys). The phenylalanine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and cysteine. -
