Genes affected

RNASEH2B (HGNC:25671): (ribonuclease H2 subunit B) RNase H2 is composed of a single catalytic subunit (A) and two non-catalytic subunits (B and C) and specifically degrades the RNA of RNA:DNA hybrids. The protein encoded by this gene is the non-catalytic B subunit of RNase H2, which is thought to play a role in DNA replication. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome type 2 (AGS2). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 13-50948069-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-50948069-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 448169.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Variant summary: RNASEH2B c.698+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 31368 control chromosomes (gnomAD, genomes dataset). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.698+1G>A in individuals affected with Aicardi Goutieres syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 8 of the RNASEH2B gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in RNASEH2B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17846997). This variant is present in population databases (rs367915667, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RNASEH2B-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 448169). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
