Genes affected
CIITA (HGNC:7067): (class II major histocompatibility complex transactivator) This gene encodes a protein with an acidic transcriptional activation domain, 4 LRRs (leucine-rich repeats) and a GTP binding domain. The protein is located in the nucleus and acts as a positive regulator of class II major histocompatibility complex gene transcription, and is referred to as the "master control factor" for the expression of these genes. The protein also binds GTP and uses GTP binding to facilitate its own transport into the nucleus. Once in the nucleus it does not bind DNA but rather uses an intrinsic acetyltransferase (AT) activity to act in a coactivator-like fashion. Mutations in this gene have been associated with bare lymphocyte syndrome type II (also known as hereditary MHC class II deficiency or HLA class II-deficient combined immunodeficiency), increased susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and possibly myocardial infarction. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]

MHC class II deficiency Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingNatera, Inc.Nov 11, 2019- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 01, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 548 of the CIITA protein (p.Arg548Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs376916824, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CIITA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 663834). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C35". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
