Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BA1BS2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.644C>T (NM_000536.4) variant in RAG2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Threonine by Isoleucine at amino acid 215 (p.Thr215Ile).The filtering allele frequency (the lower threshold of the 95% CI of 2177/91084 alleles) of the c.644C>T variant in RAG2 is 0.02308 for South Asian chromosomes by gnomAD v.4, which is higher than the ClinGen SCID VCEP threshold (>0.00872) for BA1, and therefore meets this criterion (BA1). Additionally, 42 homozygous individuals have been described (40 and 2 individuals in South Asian and "Remaining" populations, respectively (BS2_Supporting).In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Benign for autosomal recessive recombinase activating gene 2 deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen SCID VCEP. Criteria applied: BA1 and BS2_Supporting (VCEP specifications version 1.0). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA122864/MONDO:0000573/124

Genes affected
RAG2 (HGNC:9832): (recombination activating 2) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in the initiation of V(D)J recombination during B and T cell development. This protein forms a complex with the product of the adjacent recombination activating gene 1, and this complex can form double-strand breaks by cleaving DNA at conserved recombination signal sequences. The recombination activating gene 1 component is thought to contain most of the catalytic activity, while the N-terminal of the recombination activating gene 2 component is thought to form a six-bladed propeller in the active core that serves as a binding scaffold for the tight association of the complex with DNA. A C-terminal plant homeodomain finger-like motif in this protein is necessary for interactions with chromatin components, specifically with histone H3 that is trimethylated at lysine 4. Mutations in this gene cause Omenn syndrome, a form of severe combined immunodeficiency associated with autoimmune-like symptoms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: RAG2 c.644C>T (p.Thr215Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. However, these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.003 in 277112 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 11 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 4.22 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in RAG2 causing Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome/Omenn Syndrome phenotype (0.00071), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. The variant, c.644C>T, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome/Omenn Syndrome (Tabori_2004, Lev_2012, Meshaal_2015). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome/Omenn Syndrome. A ClinVar Submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) classifies the variant as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to rule this variant out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -

Significance:Benign
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The c.644C>T (NM_000536.4) variant in RAG2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Threonine by Isoleucine at amino acid 215 (p.Thr215Ile). The filtering allele frequency (the lower threshold of the 95% CI of 2177/91084 alleles) of the c.644C>T variant in RAG2 is 0.02308 for South Asian chromosomes by gnomAD v.4, which is higher than the ClinGen SCID VCEP threshold (>0.00872) for BA1, and therefore meets this criterion (BA1). Additionally, 42 homozygous individuals have been described (40 and 2 individuals in South Asian and "Remaining" populations, respectively (BS2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Benign for autosomal recessive recombinase activating gene 2 deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen SCID VCEP. Criteria applied: BA1 and BS2_Supporting (VCEP specifications version 1.0). -
