Genes affected

LIG4 (HGNC:6601): (DNA ligase 4) The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA ligase that joins single-strand breaks in a double-stranded polydeoxynucleotide in an ATP-dependent reaction. This protein is essential for V(D)J recombination and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair through nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). This protein forms a complex with the X-ray repair cross complementing protein 4 (XRCC4), and further interacts with the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). Both XRCC4 and DNA-PK are known to be required for NHEJ. The crystal structure of the complex formed by this protein and XRCC4 has been resolved. Defects in this gene are the cause of LIG4 syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -21 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.59).
• BP6: Variant 13-108210354-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr13-108210354-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 310987.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr13-108210354-A-G is described in Lovd as [Benign].
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.176 with no splicing effect.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00483 (736/152312) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.0171 (712/41552). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0161. There are 6 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 357 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd at 6 AR gene

DNA ligase IV deficiency Benign:2

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jan 13, 2018	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
