Genes affected

C8B (HGNC:1353): (complement C8 beta chain) This gene encodes one of the three subunits of the complement component 8 (C8) protein. C8 is composed of equimolar amounts of alpha, beta and gamma subunits, which are encoded by three separate genes. C8 is one component of the membrane attack complex, which mediates cell lysis, and it initiates membrane penetration of the complex. This protein mediates the interaction of C8 with the C5b-7 membrane attack complex precursor. In humans deficiency of this protein is associated with increased risk of meningococcal infections. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]

The C8B c.1282C>T (p.Arg428Ter) variant has been reported in more than 20 individuals who were homozygous for this variant and affected with C8 deficiency and is reported to segregate with disease in related individuals (Dellepiane RM et al., PMID: 27183977; Kaufmann T et al., PMID: 8098723; Kotnik V et al., PMID: 9476133; Sanges S et al., PMID: 28192236; Saucedo L et al., PMID: 7594510). This variant is predicted to result in nonsense mediated decay and loss of function is the known mechanism of disease (Saucedo L et al., PMID: 7594510). The highest population minor allele frequency in the population genome aggregation database (v.2.1.1) is 0.189%, which is higher than the incidence of C8 deficiency. This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a pathogenic variant in patients with type II complement component 8 deficiency by 13 submitters. Based on available information and the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg428*) in the C8B gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in C8B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7594510). This variant is present in population databases (rs41286844, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with C8B deficiency (PMID: 8098723, 27183977). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17038). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg428X variant in C8B has been reported in multiple individuals with clin ical features of C8B deficiency, including in >20 individuals who were homozygou s for this variant (Kaufmann, 1993; Saucedo, 1995). Homozygous and compound hete rozygous individuals were shown to have absent C8? activity. This variant has be en identified in 0.17% (112/66,626) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggrega tion Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP: rs41286844). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 428 which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In summary, this variant me ets criteria to be classified as pathogenic based on case observations, function al evidence and predicted protein impact. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The C8B c.1282C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg428*). This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state as causative for C8 deficiency (Kaufmann et al. 1993. PubMed ID: 8098723; Dellepiane et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27183977). This variant is reported in 0.19% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in C8B are expected to be pathogenic, and this variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/17038). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
