Genes affected

AIP (HGNC:358): (aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein) The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for aryl hydrocarbons and a ligand-activated transcription factor. The encoded protein is found in the cytoplasm as part of a multiprotein complex, but upon binding of ligand is transported to the nucleus. This protein can regulate the expression of many xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. Also, the encoded protein can bind specifically to and inhibit the activity of hepatitis B virus. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.25871694).
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 7 AD gene.

Published functional studies are conflicting (Igreja 2010, Bolger 2016, Formosa 2017); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30764022, 21348957, 21512261, 23371967, 20457215, 25614825, 27267386, 28255869, 20507346, 20506337) -

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 103 of the AIP protein (p.Lys103Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs267606548, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of AIP-related conditions (PMID: 20507346, 36149413). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41174). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on AIP function (PMID: 20506337, 28255869). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.K103R variant (also known as c.308A>G), located in coding exon 3 of the AIP gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 308. The lysine at codon 103 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with personal and/or family history consistent with Familial Isolated Pituitary Adenomas (FIPA) (Igreja S et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010 Aug;31:950-60; Stratakis CA et al. Clin. Genet. 2010 Nov;78:457-63; Guaraldi F et al. Clin Transl Sci. 2011 Feb;4:55-62; Beckers A et al. Endocr. Rev. 2013 Apr;34:239-77; Dinesen PT et al. Endocrinol Diabetes Metab Case Rep. 2015 Jan;2015:140105). Further, functional analysis using a yeast two-hybrid quantitative b-galactosidase assay assessed the interaction of AIP with PDE4A5, an AIP binding protein, and found that this alteration results in b-galactosidase assay activity values more than fivefold different from wild type suggesting that it leads to a complete loss of PDE4A5–AIP binding (Igreja S et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010 Aug;31:950-60). However another functional analysis using protein expression of the PDE4A5 rat homologue PDE4A4, suggests the p.K103R alteration has no clear inhibitory effect (Bolger GB et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer, 2016 May;23:419-31). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
