Genes affected

STAT3 (HGNC:11364): (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. This protein is activated through phosphorylation in response to various cytokines and growth factors including IFNs, EGF, IL5, IL6, HGF, LIF and BMP2. This protein mediates the expression of a variety of genes in response to cell stimuli, and thus plays a key role in many cellular processes such as cell growth and apoptosis. The small GTPase Rac1 has been shown to bind and regulate the activity of this protein. PIAS3 protein is a specific inhibitor of this protein. This gene also plays a role in regulating host response to viral and bacterial infections. Mutations in this gene are associated with infantile-onset multisystem autoimmune disease and hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -7 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.45).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0000526 (8/152104) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.000103 (7/68018). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000477. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 4 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd at 8 AD gene.

This sequence change falls in intron 3 of the STAT3 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the STAT3 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs375237933, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with STAT3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 568862). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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. -
